Answer:
Pattison Corporation
Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
$1,500 Favorable
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
                            Fixed Element         Variable Element per   
                               per Month              Customer Served
Revenue                                                        $5,500 
Employee salaries
  and wages            $46,300                         $1,000 
Travel expenses                                             $ 500 
Other expenses    $32,500
The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost
= $8,500 - $10,000
= $1,500 Favorable
Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17) 
= $8,500
Budgeted travel expenses =  ($500 x 20)
= $10,000
Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses.  The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.
