Really? I’m surprised it’s not higher.

I calculated it too, and I'm getting $3,000F.

Wait, how can it be $9,000F? That seems off.

Totally agree, $6,000F makes sense based on the numbers.

I think the fixed overhead variance is $6,000F.

I think the answer could be $9,000F based on the capacity used, but I need to double-check my calculations. This is a tricky one!

I remember that fixed overhead variances can be favorable or unfavorable, but I can't recall the exact formula to use here. I hope I can remember it during the exam!

This question reminds me of a similar practice question where we had to determine variances. I feel like the answer might be $6,000F, but I could be mixing it up with another type of variance.

I think the fixed production overhead capacity variance is related to the difference between actual and budgeted overhead, but I'm not entirely sure how to calculate it.

This seems straightforward enough. I'll focus on understanding the fixed overhead costs and the actual production volume to find the variance.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to identify the budgeted fixed overhead and the actual fixed overhead, then calculate the difference. I'll walk through it step-by-step.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the information provided. I'll need to carefully review the fixed overhead costs and production volume to determine the variance.

This looks like a standard fixed overhead variance question. I'll need to calculate the actual fixed overhead, the budgeted fixed overhead, and the difference between them.

I'm feeling confident about this one. The answer is clearly B) $6,000F. It's like taking candy from a baby, or in this case, a fixed production overhead capacity variance from a multiple-choice exam. Piece of cake!

I'm not so sure about that, I think it might be A) $9,000F instead.

I agree, let's make sure we're on the same page before we lock in our answer.

I think you might be right, but let's double check just to be sure.

The fixed production overhead capacity variance is the difference between the standard fixed overhead cost for the actual production volume and the fixed overhead cost for the budgeted production volume. In this case, the budgeted fixed overhead cost is $30,000 and the actual fixed overhead cost is $24,000, so the answer must be B) $6,000F.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Let me think it through again. I guess I'll go with C) $3,000F, just to be different. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky!

User 2: I'm not sure, but I'll go with A) $9,000F just to be safe.

I agree, because the actual fixed production overhead is $15,000 and the budgeted fixed production overhead is $9,000. So the fixed production overhead capacity variance is $6,000F

I think the answer is B) $6,000F. The fixed production overhead capacity variance is the difference between the standard fixed overhead cost for the actual production volume and the fixed overhead cost for the budgeted production volume. In this case, the budgeted fixed overhead cost is $30,000 and the actual fixed overhead cost is $24,000, resulting in a $6,000 favorable variance.
