D $658 F

Answer 1

Answer:

$4,450 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the revenue variance is shown below:

As we know that

Revenue variance is

=  Flexible budget revenue - Actual revenue

where,

Flexible budget revenue is

= Actual level of activity × revenue element per tenant day

= 3,390 × $28

= $94,920

And, the actual revenue is $90,470

So, the revenue variance is

= $94,920 - $90,470

= $4,450 unfavorable
