6) Define variance. What is the difference between a favorable and an unfavorable variance?
Answer: A variance is the difference between an actual amount and the budgeted amount. A variance is
favorable if it increases operating income. For example, if actual revenue is greater than budgeted
revenue or if actual expense is less than budgeted expense, then the variance is favorable. If the variance
decreases operating income, the variance is unfavorable. For example, if actual revenue is less than
budgeted revenue or if actual expense is greater than budgeted expense, the variance is unfavorable.
