Homework Answers
False.
The rate variance is the difference between standard rate and actual rate.
When standard rate is more than actual rate the rate variance is Favorable and when standard rate is less than actual rate the variance is unfavorable.
The above annotation illustrates an example of quantity variance. Quantity variance is unfavorable since standard quantity is less than actual quantity.
