Working notes:
*Calculation of variance in amount of cost of goods sold:
Variance in amount = Budgeted cost of goods sold - Actual cost of goods sold
= $180,000 - $140,000
= $40,000 favorable
*Calculation of variance in percentage:
Variance in percentage = Variance in amount / Budgeted cost of goods sold
= $40,000 / $180,000
= 0.222 or 22.2% favorable
*Decrease in costs from budget to actual = Favorable variance
*Increase in costs from budget to actual = Unfavorable variance
