Budget variance = $10,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

The fixed cost variance is the difference between the actual fixed cost and the absorbed fixed cost.

The absorbed fixed cost = POAR * actual production unit

POAR = budgeted fixed cost/Budgeted production units

= $80,000, / 40,000

= $2 per unit

POAR - Predetermined overhead absorption rate

Absorbed overhead = $2 * 40,000 = $80,000

Budget Variance = $70,000 - $80,000

= $10,000 unfavorable
