Avril Company makes collections on sales according to the following schedule:

Explanation / Answer

1) March collection = (180000*.50) +(190000* .45) +(180000* .05)

                                    = 90000+ 85500+ 9000

                                    = 184500

correct option is "A"

2) Revenue variance =Actual revenue -Budgeted revenue

                              = 150135 - (35.4* 4900)
