Fixed Overhead Variances arises on account of two reasons:
1. Over/Under Expenditure on Fixed Overheads (in comparison to budgeted amounts)
2. Over/Under utilisation of Cost Allocation Base used for absorbing fixed overheads.
Variance on account of Reason 1 is called Fixed Overhead Expenditure Variance.
Variance on account of Reason 2 is called Fixed Overhead Production Volume Variance.
Under / Over utilisation of qty of cost allocation base may further be bifurcated into:
Calendar Variance
Capacity Variance
and
Efficiency Variance.
