I heard the accountants at XYZ are so good, they can make a profit variance disappear faster than a magic trick! Now, where's my calculator?

Wait, is this a trick question? I thought the sales volume profit variance was supposed to be favorable, not adverse. Hmm, I better double-check my work.

I agree, the sales volume profit variance is $38,200 adverse.

But the sales volume profit variance is calculated by multiplying the actual sales volume by the difference between the actual profit per unit and the budgeted profit per unit. So, I still think it's B.
