Solution 1:
 Budgeted variable housekeeping cost = 105*79%*365*$14.22 = $430,535.39
 Actual variable housekeeping cost = 105*85% * 365*$14.93 = $486,363.41
 Annual budget variance = Budgeted cost - Actual cost = $430,535.39 - $486,363.41 = $55,828.02 Unfavorable
 Solution 2:
 Actual occupancy for the year = 105*85%*365 = 32576.25
 Annual cost variance = (Budgeted variable cost per room - Actual variable cost per room) * Actual occupancy = ($14.22 - $14.93) * 32576.25 = $23,129.14 Unfavorable
 Solution 3:
 Budgeted occupancy for the year = 105*79%*365 = 30276.75
 Actual occupancy for the year = 105*85%*365 = 32576.25
 Annual quantity variance = (Budgeted occupancy - Actual occupancy) * Budgeted variable cost per room
 = (30276.75 - 32576.25) * $14.22 = $32,698.89 unfavorable
