I used an excel spreadsheet since there is not enough room here. I ordered the given data:

                                              Fixed           Variable           Actual Total

Revenue                                                        $280                $39,250

Technician wages                $8,400                                       $8,250

Mobile lab operating exp.   $4,800              $31                   $9,290

Office expenses                   $2,400               $3                   $2,700

Advertising expenses           $1,580                                       $1,650

Insurance                              $2,870                                       $2,870

Miscellaneous expenses        $970                $1                      $425              

The actual results yielded an unfavorable operating income variance. Operating income = $14,065, unfavorable variance = $2,645
