    If the difference results in more profit (because, for example, the actual cost is lower than standard) then the variance is favourable.
    If the difference results in less profit (because, for example, the actual cost is higher than standard) then the variance is adverse.

    Have you watched the free lecture on here? If not then it would be a good idea to.
