Which of the following could cause a variable overhead flexible budget variance?
Select one:
A. Variable overhead costs being greater than expected for the given driver usage
B. Variable overhead costs being less than expected for the given driver usage
C. Driver usage being greater than expected for the given level of production
D. Driver usage being less than expected for the given level of production
E. All of the above
The correct answer is A) Variable overhead costs being greater than expected for the given driver usage.
Supporting explanations:
Variable overhead flexible budget variance is the difference between the actual overheads incurred and the flexible budget overheads. When the actual overheads incurred are more than the flexible budget overheads then the variance is Unfavorable and when the actual overheads incurred are less than the flexible budget overheads then the variance is favorable.
The formula of Variable overhead flexible budget variance = Actual Costs Incurred - Flexible Budget Overheads
Therefore, the correct answer is "Variable overhead costs being greater than expected for the given driver usage".
