Moozi Dairy Products processes and sells two products: milk and butter. Last year, Moozi budgeted $1,200,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and chose a denominator level of activity of 80,000 machine-hours.

What will be an ideal response?
Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead ? Budgeted fixed overhead
= $1,256,000 ? $1,200,000 = $56,000 U
Volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead ? Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $1,200,000 ? {[(560,000 units of milk × 0.1 MH per unit of milk) + (340,000 units of butter × 0.08 MH per unit of butter)] × ($1,200,000/80,000 MHs)}
= $1,200,000 ? {[(56,000 MHs) + (27,200 MHs)] × $15 per MH}
= $1,200,000 ? {83,200 MHs) × $15 per MH}
= $1,200,000 ? $1,248,000
= $48,000 F
