Answer:
(B) $5,000 favorable.
Explanation:
Variable cost flexible budget variance:
budget for 6,000 units total variable cost: $180,000
We divide the total cost by the activity in that budget:
$180,000/ 6,000 = 30
Now we multiply by the actual volume:
5,000 x 30 = 150,000
Now we do flexible budget - actual cost = variance
150,000 - 145,000 = 5,000 favorable
It is favorable, as the cost where less than expected.
