I have been watching through all of the PM lectures so far and cannot thank you enough! Your lectures are excellent and just as I think I have a question you answer it in the same lecture.
On your point about deliberately buying higher priced materials to increase selling price or sales volume, can I check why it is that Sales Volume variances are based on contribution/profit per unit instead of selling price per unit?
Because although selling more means there is more revenue, it also means there are more costs of the goods. Therefore selling more units means more contribution.
Thanks for being very thorough.
