$288 (F)
Explanation:
In order to calculate activity variance we subtract actual results from the flexible budget. Moreover, the flexible budget is determined by taken into account both fixed and variable expense of the activity. This is shown below:
Flexible Budget of Selling and Administrative Expense = 25,900 + (2.1 x 5,980) = $38,458
Variance = 38,170 - 38,458 = $288 (F)
Because the actual expense is less than the flexible budget, the variance is favorable (F).
Note: Variable flexible budget is calculated by multiplying the variable rate with the actual units produced.
