The revenue effect of price-recovery component is calculated as:
Revenue effect of price-recovery component = (Price change in year 2 - inflation rate) x units sold in year 2

From the given data, we know that:
- The industry market size for high-end appliances increased 5% from year 1 to year 2.
- Barry Company produces XX 300 units, but we do not know how many units were produced in either year.
- The table shows the selling price and cost data for Barry Company's XX 300 product for both year 1 and year 2.

To calculate the revenue effect of price-recovery component, we need to know the price change in year 2. We can find this by comparing the selling price of XX 300 in year 1 and year 2. From the table, we see that the selling price in year 2 is $4,800, which is $400 higher than the selling price in year 1. This means that the price change in year 2 is $400.

To calculate the units sold in year 2, we need to know how many customers Barry Company had and how many units each customer purchased. We know that there were 25 customers in year 2, but we do not know how many units each customer purchased. Therefore, we cannot calculate the exact number of units sold in year 2. However, we do know that Barry Company did not produce any defective units in either year, which means that the number of units sold should be equal to the number of units produced.

The revenue effect of price-recovery component = ($400 - 5%) x units sold in year 2

We do not know the exact value of units sold in year 2, but we can assume that it increased by 5% from year 1 to year 2, similar to the industry market size. Therefore, the revenue effect of price-recovery component can be approximated as:
Revenue effect of price-recovery component = ($400 - 5%) x 1.05 x Total revenue in year 1

From the table, we see that the total revenue in year 1 was $13,500,000. Therefore, the revenue effect of price-recovery component can be approximated as:
Revenue effect of price-recovery component = ($400 - 5%) x 1.05 x $13,500,000
Revenue effect of price-recovery component = $162,000 (rounded to nearest thousand)

Therefore, the best choice is B, with the revenue effect of price-recovery component being $162,000 favourable.
