Explanation / Answer

1)correct option is "D" - 1500 F

[31500 - 30000 = 1500F ]

2)correct option is "B" - 36 inch

As it has a highest negative unfavorable variance = [40150 -42000 = -1850]

3)correct option is "C" - 234800

[136000 + 80000 + 18800]

4) Total variable cost = .60 *24000 = 14400

Fixed cost = 31900 - 14400 = 17500

correct option is "A"
