    What is the fixed overhead cost variance?

    = estimated fixed overhead costs - actual overhead costs = $9,400 - $9,100 = $300 favorable variance since the actual costs where lower than estimated.

    What is the fixed manufacturing overhead allocation rate?

    = estimated fixed overhead costs / total machine hours = $9,400 / 2,200 machine hours = $4.27 per machine hour

    Fuller Company total flexible budget cost for 510 bikes per month is?

    (510 bikes x estimated variable costs) + fixed overhead costs = [510 bikes x ($11,440 / 550 bikes) ] + $9,400 = $10,608 + $9,400 = $20,008

    Explanation:

    Fuller's Company flexible budget variance for total costs = total flexible budget - actual costs incurred = $20,008 - ($6,800 + $9,100) = $20,008 - $15,900 = $4,108 favorable since the actual costs were lower than budgeted costs
