Budgeted fixed overhead ₹1,20,000 for 20,000 standard hours; actual hours 18,000; actual output deserves 17,000 standard hours; actual fixed overhead ₹1,25,000. Fixed overhead expenditure variance is:

A₹1,000 favourable
B₹6,000 adverse
C₹6,000 favourable
D₹5,000 adverse
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. ₹5,000 adverse
1. Fixed overhead expenditure variance = Budgeted − Actual. 2. Substitute: 1,20,000 − 1,25,000 = −5,000. 3. The negative figure indicates adverse expenditure variance. 4. Hence the variance is ₹5,000 adverse. _Source: ICAI BoS Inter Paper 3, Ch 13 "Standard Costing", §13.5.4 Illus 9_
