Fixed factory overhead	220,200
Standard: 76,000 hrs. at $7.00 ($4.10 for variable factory overhead)	532,000

Productive capacity at 100% of normal was 75,200 hours, and the factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 76,000 standard hours was $528,800. Based on these data, the chief cost accountant prepared the following variance analysis:

Line Item Description	Amount	Amount
Variable factory overhead controllable variance:
Actual variable factory overhead cost incurred	$308,500
Budgeted variable factory overhead for 76,000 hours	(311,600)
Variancefavorable		$(3,100)
Fixed factory overhead volume variance:

Productive capacity not used	800 hrs.
Standard variable factory overhead rate	$7.00
Varianceunfavorable		5,600
Total factory overhead cost varianceunfavorable		$2,500
