    The following question is taken from the July to December 2017 exam period.
    A company uses standard marginal costing to monitor performance. The budgeted profit and budgeted fixed overhead for a month were $25000 and $12000 respectively. In the month the following variance occurred:
    Sales volume contribution $1000 Adverse
    Sales price $2000 favourable
    Total variable costs $4000 Adverse
    Fixed production overhead expenditure $500 Adverse
    What was the actual profit for the month?
    Ans) 21500
    Sir my question is why they didn’t deduct budgeted fixed overhead from the actual contribution?

    The budgeted profit will already be after charging the budgeted fixed overheads, so it is only the variance that needs adjusting for.
