To find the total controllable cost variance, we first need to calculate the flexible budget overhead costs for the actual level of production (46,000 units).
Given:
- Variable overhead costs for 54,000 units = $97,200
- Fixed overhead costs = $70,000
Using the flexible budget formula:
Flexible Budget Overhead Costs = Variable Overhead Costs + Fixed Overhead Costs
Flexible Budget Overhead Costs = $97,200 + $70,000
Flexible Budget Overhead Costs = $167,200
Now, we compare the flexible budget overhead costs with the actual overhead costs incurred at the actual level of production (46,000 units).
Actual Overhead Costs = $151,540
Total Controllable Cost Variance = Flexible Budget Overhead Costs - Actual Overhead Costs
Total Controllable Cost Variance = $167,200 - $151,540
Total Controllable Cost Variance = $15,660 unfavorable
Therefore, the correct answer is:
$15,660 unfavorable.
