    The correct answer is $1,863 (U).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

    Planned Activity = 20 days

    Actual activity days = 23 days

    Contribution margin = $621

    Operating cost = - $15,060

    So, we can calculate the activity variance by using following formula:

    Activity Variance = (Planned activity days - Actual activity days) * Contribution margin

    By putting the value, we get

    Activity variance = (20 - 23) * $621

    = - 3 * $621

    = - $1,863 (Negative shows unfavorable)

    = $1,863 (U)
