Wooster has the following budgeted costs at its anticipated production level (expressed in hours): variable overhead, $167,700; fixed overhead, $252,000. If Wooster now revises its anticipated production slightly upward, it would expect:
a. total variable overhead of less than $167,700 and a lower hourly rate for variable overhead.
b. total fixed overhead of $252,000 and a higher hourly rate for variable overhead.
c. total fixed overhead of $252,000 and the same hourly rate for variable overhead.
d. total fixed overhead of $252,000 and a lower hourly rate for variable overhead.
e. total variable overhead of less than $167,700 and a higher hourly rate for variable overhead.
