The volume variance is composed of the idle capacity variance and the fixed
efficiency variance.
Capacity variance measures the ability of the business to produce under or over
its normal production level.
Formula:
Capacity variance = BAAH – (AH x Standard overhead rate)
or
= (NH - AH) x Fixed overhead rate
