At the beginning of the year, the static budget for variable overhead costs included the following data:

Production volume 6,000 units
Budgeted variable overhead costs. $16,000
At the end of the year, actual data were as follows:
Production volume. 4,100 units
Actual variable overhead costs. $15,200
Actual direct labor hours (DLHr)500 hours
