Answer 1

Answer: Sales volume variance is unfavorable and input efficiency variance is unfavorable

Explanation:

The sales volume variance is regarded as the difference in the revenue or the profit which is as a result of the difference between the actual sales and the budgeted sales.

With regards to the question, since the Actual sales volume in units is 5% lower than the budgeted sales, we can infer that the sales volume variance will be unfavourable. On the other hand, since, the actual input quantity per unit is 2% higher than budgeted input quantity per unit, then we can infer that the input efficient variance is unfavourable.
