(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

Explanation / Answer

Flexible budget is the budget based on Master projections adjusted for actual sales volume.

Variance analysis is based on the actual Vs Flexible budget and Sales activity variance is Flexible budget Vs Master budget.

Actual volume is 360 Units and actual Sale price per unit is 153.33 Vs Budget of 400 units and budgeted sale price of 150 per unit. Flexible budget against sales will be 360 units at 150 per unit.
