Answer: $942 U
Step-by-step explanation:
Budgeted cost was $2,960 per month plus $326 per day and there were 18 days of actual activity.
Budgeted cost = 2,960 + 326 * 18
= $8,828
Variance = Budgeted cost - Actual cost
= 8,828 - 9,770
= -$942
Budgeted cost is less than Actual cost which means the Variance is UNFAVORABLE.
