B

15,560 units at $12.00 per unit

12,940 units at $12.40 per unit

Explanation / Answer

a: Sales Volume Variance = (Budgeted Quantity - Actual Quantity) X Budgeted Selling Price

A = (10250 - 12130) x 16 = $30080 F

B = (15560 - 12940) x 12 = $31440 U

Total Sales VolumeVariance = $1360 U

b: Sales Price variance = (Budgeted selling price - Actual selling price) x Actual quantity

A = (16 - 15.60) x 12130 = $4852 U

B = (12 - 12.40) x 12940 = $5176 F

Total Sales Price Variance = $324 F

c: Total sales variance = Sales Volume Variance + Sales Price Variance

= 1360 U + 324 F

= $1036 U
