    You need to add the fixed cost variance, subtract the variable cost variance, add the sales price variance to get back to the standard profit.

    The sales volume variance is not relevant because this is the difference between budget profit and standard profit for actual sales – the question asks for standard profit for actual sales, not for the original budget profit.
