Taussig Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $1,880 per month plus $394 per snow-day. For the month of February, the company planned for activity of 13 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 14 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $7,250. The activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February would be closest to:

$394 U

Explanation:

Calculation for the activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February would be

First step is to calculate the Flexible budget

Flexible budget= $1,880 + ($394 × 14)

Flexible budget=$7,396

Second step is to calculate the Planning budget

Planning budget= $1,880 + ($394 × 13)

Planning budget=$7,002

Last step is to calculate the activity variance for vehicle operating cost in Februar

Activity variance=Flexible budget $7,396-Planning budget $7,002

Activity variance=$394 U

Therefore The activity variance for vehicle operating cost in February would be closest to $394 U.
