To determine
The difference between the actual cost or price and the budgeted (standard) cost or price is referred to as variance. Variance can either be favorable or unfavorable depending upon the various situations. The variance is favorable when the actual cost is less than the standard cost, and vice versa. A favorable variance implies that direct material, labor, and overheads are used efficiently. An unfavorable variance occurs when the company pays more than the standard costs or applies direct materials, labor, and overheads inefficiently.
