Spending variance Never a variance Production-volume variance

1,516 U 2,400 F
Flexible-budget variance Production-volume variance

The fixed manufacturing overhead spending variance and the fixed manufacturing flexible budget variance are the same1,516 U. Esquire spent 1,516 more than the 62,400 budgeted amount for June 2014.
The production-volume variance is 2,400 F. This arises because Esquire utilized its capacity more intensively than budgeted (the actual production of 1,080 suits exceeds the budgeted 1,040 suits). This results in overallocated fixed manufacturing overhead of 2,400 (4  40  15). Esquire would want to understand the reasons for a favorable production-volume variance. Is the market growing? Is Esquire gaining market share? Will Esquire need to add capacity?
