The revenue variance in August is:

Answer 1

Answer:

The revenue variance in August is $5,570 favorable.

Explanation:

LPM Ltd.

Actual Revenue = $491,250

Budgeted Revenue = $10.40 x 46,700 units = $485,680

Revenue Variance = Budgeted Variance - Actual Variance

Revenue Variance = $485,680 - $491,250

Revenue Variance = $5,570 favorable

Since the Actual Variance is greater than budgeted variance, hence favorable revenue variance.
