Quanity variance is favorable when actual quantity used is less than budgeted quantity, and unfavorable when actual quantity used is more than budgeted quantty. 4.

Efficiency variance is favourable when actual hours used are less than budgeted hours, and unfavourable when actual hours used are more than budgeted hours.
