The fixed overhead production-volume variance is $9,000 U

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the fixed overhead production-volume variance.

We start by calculating the fixed overhead applied to production.

mathematically that is equal to : 54,000 * 0.03 * 50 = 81,000

The budgeted fixed overhead = 90,000

Mathematically,

Fixed overhead production-volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - fixed overhead applied to production = 90,000 - 81,000 = $9,000 U
