Answer 1

$26,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sales volume variance can be calculated using the following formula:

Sales Volume Variance = Actual Sales ($) - Budgeted Sales ($)

Or you can also use the following formula:

Sales Volume Variance = (Actual Sales Units - Budgeted Sales Units) * Budgeted price per unit

Here

Actual Sales ($) is 77000 unit at $14 budgeted sales price per unit which means total sales in dollars was $1,078,000.

Budgeted Sales ($) is 79000 unit at $14 budgeted sales price per unit which means total budgeted sales in dollars was $1,104,000.

Sales Volume Variance = $1,078,000 - $1,104,000 = $26,000
