Answer:

$5,931 Favorable

Explanation:

Operating cost for actual activity:

= $36,130 + ($2,036 per flight × No. of flights) + ($1 per passenger × No. of passenger)

= $36,130 + ($2,036 per flight × 73) + ($1 per passenger × 223)

= $36,130 + $148,628 + $223

= $184,981

Activity variance:

= Operating cost for actual activity - Actual cost for plane operating costs

= $184,981 - $179,050

= $5,931 Favorable
