Total variance = 391 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,920 per month plus $11 per frame. For March, the company planned for activity of 632 frames, but the actual level of activity was 639 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $9,340.

Estimated = 1,920 + 639*11 = 8,949

Real = 9,340

Total variance = real - estimated

Total variance = 9,340 - 8,949 = 391 unfavorable
