Comfort Company manufactures cardiac pillows. The 20X5 operating budget is based on the production of 1,000 pillows. At that volume, budgeted variable expenses total $65,000. After reviewing at the end of the period, actual production totaled 1,200 pillows and total variable expenses were $69,000. Compute the variable expense cost variance. Is the variance favorable or unfavorable?
The Variable overhead cost variance is Favorable in nature.
Working Note:
Standard Variable Cost Per Pillows = Standard Variable Cost/Standard Unit of Pillows
Standard Variable Cost Per Pillows = $65,000/1000
Standard Variable Cost Per Pillows = $65
