{R: PASSED!! (I passed one!)}
{B: PASSED!! (Halfway there!)}

@jennifer… ya, I tried to recreate your little chart and all I get are crossed over lines and stuff that is just more confusing than it should be.

FAR - 84
AUD - 94
REG - 86
BEC - 86

Baby Frames, Inc. evaluates manufacturing overhead by using variance analysis. The following information applies to the month of May:

Actual Budgeted

Number of frames manufactured 19,000 20,000

Variable Overhead costs $ 4,100 $2 per direct labor hr

Fixed Overhead costs $22,000 ; $20,000; $1 per unit

Direct labor hours 2,100 hrs 0.1 hour per frame

What is the production volume variance?

I have no idea how this would be solved using barelystayingsane's table, nor how it's done in the Becker book, which btw sucks for this topic.

Here's the link to the thread where barelystayingsane explains his table:

I'm moving forward with B3 today and tomorrow, will be doing my B1-3 review this weekend. I go in on 11/20 and seems like I am falling behind every day because these MCQs take so frickin' long. Grrr. Maybe things will click when I see them again this weekend.

I spent a good 8-9 hours on B2 questions, some of them taking me 15 minutes because I seem to struggle with variances, but they are starting to click. I think I”m going to keep doing progress tests through each chapter so it stays fresh. I imagine I'll do 500+ on just variances by the time it's over.

Hi everyone sorry I was so stressed and busy with the study…. So I took BEC yesterday and I have to say that Becker did a good job. All materials I studied was there and it was easier. Those that I had issues with was barely mentioned.I failed so unprepared when I went to the exam but left relieved. I won't say that I nailed it , but I did my best.I have mix feeling about passing or failing, but all I can do is being optimist. The question were easier than the MC in Becker, but I spent all the time on it and only had 30 mn left for the essay which was not enough. I am now waiting on the result and really hope to see that 75!!!!! I am moving to Audit sheduled for 12/06 and hope that I will not have to retake BEC again. Good luck to all of you.
