    A factory uses a standard costing system and budgeted $50,000 of fixed overhead based on 25,000

    machine hours, and production of 10,000 units. During the period, the factory actually produced

    12,000 units and incurred 29,000 machine hours. What is the fixed overhead efficiency variance?

    a. $0.

    b. $2,000 favorable.

    c. $2,000 unfavorable.

    d. $8,000 favorable

    Hello, 

    Fixed Overhead Efficiency Variance = (Standard FOH Rate Per hour * Standard Hours for Actual units) - (Standard FOH rate per Hour * Actual Hours)
    = (2*30000) - (2*29000) 
    = 2000 Favourable.

    There is no such thing as fixed overhead efficiency.
    There is only two variance computed under fixed overhead which are spending and volume variance.

    Efficiency variance is only for variable overhead and other variable manufacturing cost.


    Answer for this is 0.

    The correct answer is A

    There is nothing called fixed overhead variance, it's called production volume variance 

    Therefore, the correct answer is zero
