Answer:

$6,000 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The fixed manufacturing overhead budget for the month is the difference between budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost minus actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost represented below;

Fixed manufacturing overhead budget = Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost - Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost

= $70,000 - $76,000

= $6,000 unfavorable

It is unfavorable since the actual overhead cost expended is more than the budgeted cost.
