favorable variance
Definition
A situation that occurs when an anticipated cost is higher than its actual cost, or when anticipated revenue is lower than actual revenue. A business manager will generally be pleased by just about any incidence of favorable variance in either costs or revenue for a project since it can only improve the overall project's result compared to its budget.
