Answer 1

-$4,000 unfavourable

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales volume variance is calculated as ;

= (Actual sales units - Estimated sales units) × Estimated selling price.

Given that;

Actual sales units = 8,000

Estimated sales units = 10,000 units

Estimates selling price = $2 per unit

Therefore,

Sales volume variance = (8,000 - 10,000) × $2

Sales volume variance = -$4,000 unfavourable
