A variance is the difference between the projected budget and the actual performance for a particular account. A negative variance means that the budgeted amount was greater than the actual amount spent. A positive variance means that the budgeted amount was less than the actual amount spent.
Note there is some debate over whether a negative variance means an underrun or an overrun. The Project Management Institute, however, endorses the accepted convention that a negative variance is a bad thing, and a positive variance a good thing.

Yes
Can additive variance have a negative value?
No. Variance is always positive and so the sum of variances must also be positive.

Can the variance be a negative number?
First, we compute the variance by taking the sum of squares and divide that by N which is the number of data points in the same. It is average squared deviation of each number from its mean. The point is a squared number is always positive and N is always positive so the variance must always be non-negative. ( It can be 0). The variance is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data points around their mean value. It would not make sense for it to be negative.
What is the difference between negative price variance and volume variance?
Negative price variance is when the cost is less than budgeted. Volume variance is a variance in the volume produce.
Can the f statistic be negative?
No, the F statistic cannot be negative. The F statistic is derived from the ratio of variances, specifically the variance between groups divided by the variance within groups. Since variances are always positive or zero, the resulting F statistic will also be zero or positive.
