    Answer: The correct answer is D) $23,600 decrease

    Explanation: The variation in quantity is the difference between actual and budgeted units, measured at the budgeted price per unit. It shows what produces a greater or lesser volume in the expected costs.

    It can be summed up in the formula = (Actual quantity - Budgeted quantity) x Budgeted unit price

    We calculate: (16475 - 13525) x 8 = 23600.
