Hello,
I have write down all three formulas for fixed overhead variances.
Fixed Overhead Volume Variance =
Standard hours/unit for actual production- Budgeted hours/unit for production x Overhead absorption rate
Fixed Overhead Capacity Ratio =
Actual hours/unit for actual production - Budgeted hours/unit for production x Overhead absorption rate
Fixed Overhead Efficiency Variance =
Standard hours/unit for actual production - actual hours/unit for actual production x Overhead absorption rate
If you have anymore question in this matter then please do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards

hey
the FIXED OVERHEAD EXPENDITURE VARIANCE formula is:
BUGETED FIXED OVERHEADS - ACTUAL OVERHEADS and not what you have written.
FIXED OVERHEAD VOLUME VARIANCE:(1)IF OVERHEADS ARE ABSORBED ON UNIT BASIS:
(ACTUAL OUTPUT - BUDGETED OUTPUT) OAR/UNIT
(2)IF OVERHEADS ARE ABSORBED ON HOURLY BASIS FOR EXAMPLE LABOUR OR MACHINE HOUR
(STANDARD HOURS FOR ACTUAL OUTPUT- BUDGETED HOURS) OAR/HOUR
FIXED OVERHEAD VOLUME EFFICIENCY VARIANCE:
(STANDARD HOURS FOR ACTUAL OUTPUT-ACTUAL HOURS) OAR/HOUR
FIXED OVERHEAD VOLUME CAPACITY VARIANCE:
(ACTUAL HOURS -BUDEGETED HOURS) OAR/HOUR0 -
Cheers Khurram,
Had a chat with my tutor and it appears i have a text book with a mistake in!! But all sorted, thanks for your help!

It is the Osbourne book, but apparently they corrected it, and i got one of the very early versions from 2008! The above formula's are right though!0
