Answer 1

Answer:

$7,000 Favourable

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The Step Company's sales-price variance is:

Using this formula

Sales Price Variance = (Actual Sales Price – Budgeted Sales Price) * Actual Sales Volume

Let plug in the formula

Sales Price Variance=[($ 147,000÷14,000)-(150,000/15,000)]*14000

Sales Price Variance = ($10.5 – $10) * 14000

Sales Price Variance = $7,000 Favorable

Therefore The Step Company's sales-price variance is: $7,000 Favorable
