    a. $180,000 Favorable

    b. $189,000 Unfavorable

    c. Lowering the training facility price didn't raise sales.

    Explanation:

    a. Sales Volume Variance = (Actual hours - Budgeted hours) * Budgeted Revenue per hour

    Sales Volume Variance = (31,500 - 30,000) * $120

    = 1,500 * $120

    = $180,000 Favorable

    b. Flexible Budget Variance = (Actual revenue per hour - Budgeted revenue per hour) * Actual hours of training

    = ($114 - $120) * 31,500

    = $189,000 Unfavorable

    c. Lowering the training service price did not raise sales. Because, according to actual training hours, actual revenue is lower than budget revenue.
