Gerald Larsen · Answer 1

Fixed overhead budget variance = $15,000 favorable

Explanation:

The fixed overhead budget variance is the difference between the budgeted fixed overhead expenditure and the actual fixed overhead for a given period of time.

Where the actual amount of expenditure exceeds the budgeted it is unfavorable variance, a favorable variance implies the opposite.

$

Budgeted fixed overhead 190,000

Actual fixed overhead 175,000

Budget Variance 15,000 favorable

Fixed overhead budget variance = $15,000 favorable
