Answer:

$352  unfavorable variance

Explanation:

The spending variance operating cost in December can be ascertained by taking the difference between the actual vehicle operating cost of $7,640 and the budgeted vehicle operating cost using actual level of activity

Budgeted vehicle operating cost using actual level of activity=fixed vehicle operating plus variable multiplied by actual level of activity.

fixed vehicle operating cost is $2,850

variable cost per snow day is $317

actual level of activity is 14 snow days

spending variance=$7,640-($2850+($317*14))

                              =$7640-$7288 =$352
