A company uses standard marginal costing to monitor performance. The budgeted profit and budgeted fixed overhead for a month were $\$ 25,000$ and $\$ 12,000$ respectively. In the month, the following variances occurred:
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { Sales volume contribution } & \$ \\
\text { Sales price } & 1,000 \text { Adverse } \\
\text { Total variable costs } & 2,000 \text { Favourable } \\
\text { Fixed production overhead expenditure } & 4,000 \text { Adverse } \\
500 \text { Adverse }
\end{array}
$$
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\text { What was the actual profit for the month? }\\
&\begin{array}{ll}
\circ & \$ 9,500 \\
\circ & \$ 21,500 \\
\circ & \$ 33,500 \\
0 & \$ 40,000
\end{array}
\end{aligned}
