This question seems similar to one we did in class about variances. I think the adverse variances might be affecting the profit calculation.

I agree, the sales volume profit variance is $38,200 adverse.

But the sales volume profit variance is calculated by multiplying the actual sales volume by the difference between the actual profit per unit and the budgeted profit per unit. So, I still think it's B.
