= $1,028 U

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Budgeted kennel tenant-days = 3,100

Actual kennel tenant-days = 3,120

                                    Fixed element   Variable element     Total

                                        per month        per tenant-day

Revenue                                      -                   $ 34.00        $105,400

Wages and salaries         $ 2,000                    $ 7.00          $23,700

Food and supplies               1,000                     13.50            42,850

Facility expenses                7,500                      2.50             15,250

Administrative expenses   6,000                       0.10               6,310

Total expenses             $ 16,500                  $ 23.10            $88,110

Actual results for March:

Revenue                          $ 104,372

Wages and salaries         $ 28,500

Food and supplies          $ 44,025

Facility expenses             $ 14,900

Administrative expenses $ 7,090

Total expenses                $94,515

Revenue variance for March would be closest to: $1,028 U ($105,400 - $104,372)
