Expenditure variance = $30,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

The fixed overhead spending variance is the amount by which the budgeted expenditure differs from the actual fixed overhead. Where the actual expenditure is less than the budgeted, the variance is favorable. An unfavorable variance implies the opposite.
