Giving the following information:

Blumen Textiles Corporation began January with a budget for 90,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 100,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows:

A) We need the estimated overhead cost. So I will leave the formula.

factory overhead controllable variance= Actual overhead - estimated overhead

B) fixed factory overhead volume variance= budgeted fixed overhead - fixed overhead applied
