Answer:
Volume Variance= $ 20,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The Volume Variance is the difference between actual production (AP) and budgeted production (BP) for a period multiplied by the standard fixed overhead rate (SR)
Volume Variance= (AP-BP) *SR = (47500- 50,000)* 400,000/50,000=
= 2,500 * 8= $ 20,000 Unfavorable
Whenever actual production is less than the budgeted production the fixed overhead charged to production is less than the budgeted cost the volume variance is adverse.
