Answer 1

Clementine's sales volume variance = (BQ - AQS) x Standard profit margin

= (974 - 1,051) x ($95 - $49)

= $3,542(F)

Explanation: Sales volume variance is the difference between budgeted quantity and actual quantity sold multiplied by standard profit margin. Standard profit margin is the excess of budgeted selling price over actual selling price.
