    The following information is available for F Co in the latest period
    Original budget Flexed budget Actual results
    Sales and production (units) 11,200 9,500 9,500
    $’000 $’000 $’000
    Sales revenue
    Direct material
    Direct labour
    Overhead
    Profit

    Which of the following statements is correct?
    1. Budgeted production volumes were achieved during the period
    2. Direct labour is a variable cost
    3. The actual selling price per unit exceeded the standard selling price per unit
    4. Direct material cost savings were achieved against the budget cost allowance

    I have calculated the selling price and answer 3 is correct but why is answer 2 wrong

    It seems that you have not typed out the whole question because you have not given the $ amounts.

    If the labour cost per unit is the same, then it is a variable cost. However if the cost per unit is not the same then it becomes a semi-variable cost (part variable and past fixed).
