The activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February would be closest to:

a. $394 F
b. $248 U
c. $394 U
d. $248 F

Respuesta :

Answer:

The activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February would be closest to  $394 U.

Explanation:

To calcuate the activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February we have to use calculate first the flexible budget and the planning budget.

Flexible budget= $1,880 + ($394 × 14)=$7,396

Planning budget= $1,880 + ($394 × 13)=$7,002

Hence, the Activity variance=$394

Therefore, as the flexible budget is greater than the planning budget, the variance is unfavorable (U).

The activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February would be closest to  $394 U.
