Answer:

$46,500 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the total sales quantity variance is as follows:

Total sales quantity variance

Sales quantity variance is

= (Actual quantity sold - Budgeted quantity) × Budgeted price

For product X, it would be

= (42,000 - 22,500) × $13

= $253,500 favorable

And, For product Y, it is

= (80,000 - 90,000) × $30

= $300,000 unfavorable

So, the total would be

= $300,000 - $253,500

= $46,500 unfavorable

This is the answer but the same would not be provided in the given options
