A company uses standard absorption costing.Actual profit last period was $25,000, which was $ 5,000 less than budgeted profit. The standard profit on actual sales for the period was $15,000.only three variances occurred in the period. A sales volume, sales price and a direct material price variance.
which of the following is a valid combination of the three variances?the correct answer in the text is
sales volume profit variance $15,000 A, sales price variance $2000 F and direct material price variance $ 8,000 F. Please, I want to know the logic of having this combination as the answer.Budgeted profit must have been 25000 + 5000 = 30000
Sales volume variance is the difference between standard profit and budgeted profit.
The other two variances together explain the difference between actual profit and standard profit.
