Which of the following is the correct formula for the revenue volume variance?

A) Planned Revenues - Actual Revenues
B) (Planned Selling Price per Unit - Actual Selling Price per Unit) × Actual Units Sold
C) (Planned Units Sold - Actual Units Sold) × Actual Sales Price
D) (Planned Units Sold - Actual Units Sold) × Planned Sales Price

Revenue Volume Variance

This reflects the difference between actual revenue and the expected revenue that was based on the budget, often attributed to changes in sales volume.

Planned Selling Price Sep## Actual Units Sold

This represents the comparison between the pre-established price at which goods were intended to be sold and the actual number of units sold.

  • Compute and assess the differences in revenue volume and price variances along with their effects on overall revenue.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The revenue volume variance is calculated by comparing the difference in the number of units sold against what was planned, multiplied by the planned sales price per unit. This variance helps in understanding the impact of the difference in the volume of sales from the planned volume, without considering changes in the selling price. Option D, "(Planned Units Sold - Actual Units Sold) × Planned Sales Price," correctly represents this calculation.
