Factory Overhead Cost Variances

Blumen Textiles Corporation began April with a budget for 22,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 29,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows:

Variable overhead	$70,400
Fixed overhead	49,300
Total	$119,700

The actual factory overhead was $121,100 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of 23,000 hours. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.
