Fixed overhead budgeted variance is the difference between estimated budgeted cost and actual fixed overhead cost of production.
Favourable fixed overhead variance occurs when actual fixed cost is less than the budgeted fixed overhead expenses.
Incurring higher fixed costs than were planned for in the budget can cause adverse overhead capacity variance. Other caused can include planning errors, inefficient management of fixed overheads, and business expansion that was not added to the budget.

The price variance might result from use of cheaper but inferior quality materials hence though it will be cheaper , the final product will be compromised .
