    Budgeted X – 7000 units , Y – 3000 units
    Actual X – 8000 units, Y – 7000 units

    SP: X – $30 , Y – $40

    Standard contribution for both products is 30% of selling price.

    Question: What is the sales quantity variance?

    I keep getting 57,000 (F) but the right answer is 49,500 (F) , Could you please tell me where I am going wrong sir?

    The actual sales are in total 15,000.

    If they were in standard mix then it would be 10,500 X;s and 4,500 Y’x

    At standard contributions of $9 and $12, this would give a total contribution of 148,500.

    The budget sales give a total contribution of 99,000.

    The difference is 148500 – 99000 = 49500.

    Okay so the sales quantity variance is similar to the sales yield variance and not the sales volume variance as I calculated right? Thanks again John 😀

    How did you get 148500?
    (9*8000)+(12*7000) = 156000

    Spyker: Correct, and you are welcome.

    Fals: you have not read my answer properly – read it again!
    It says to cost out 10500 X’s and 4500 Y’s (why have you typed 8,000 and 7,000???)
