Answer 1

Answer:

2170U

See the explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Revenue variance= Actual quantity shipped × (standard price per unit - actual price per unit)

Or

AQ×SP - AQ×AP

= (5050×39.60) - 197810

= 199980 - 197810

= 2170 Unfavourable

An Unfavourable revenue variance because the actual revenue is less than what is anticipated.
