    Volume Variance = $ 20,000 Unfavorable

    Explanation:

    The Volume Variance is the difference between actual production (AP) and budgeted production (BP) for a period multiplied by the standard fixed overhead rate (SR)

    Volume Variance = (AP-BP) * SR = (47500 - 50,000) * 400,000/50,000=

    = 2,500 * 8 = $ 20,000 Unfavorable

    Whenever actual production is less than the budgeted production the fixed overhead charged to production is less than the budgeted cost the volume variance is adverse.
