Question

If the total revenue variance is favorable and the revenue price variance is unfavorable, then the revenue volume variance must a.exceed the revenue price variance and be favorable b.be less than the revenue price variance and be favorable c.be less than the revenue price variance and be unfavorable d.be equal to the revenue price variance and be favorable

Answer 1

Answer: a.exceed the revenue price variance and be favorable

Explanation:

Revenue Volume x Revenue Price = Total Revenue

From the above formula, for the Total Revenue to be variated positively and yet the Revenue Price is of Negative Variance, it would follow logically that the other variable in the transaction contributed to the favorable variance of the Total Revenue apart from the Revenue Price.

The only other variable is the Revenue Volume. The Revenue volume must therefore have been large and favorable enough to offset the Negative Variance of the Revenue Price.
