Master Budget Variance = - $25,986 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Master Budget Variance = Standard or Budgeted Sales Value - Actual Sales Value

Budgeted Sales Value = 14 pools for $20,517 per pool = $287,238

Actual Sales Value = 12 pools for $21,771 per pool = $261,252

Master Budget Variance = $287,238 - $261,252 = $25,986

Since actual sales value is less than budgeted sales, the variance is unfavorable.

Master Budget Variance = - $25,986 Unfavorable
