Phew…. Just above the safety level… 51….
Because it’s my homework… So I don’t have the answers. And I’m still a little bit confused about these Planning & Operational variances.
But I wonder that if you pleased, can you show me how to figure out these variances?
Oh, anyway thank you for your help. 😀
🙂 I’ll watch that lecture, anyway thank you. 🙂
Hi,
I’m pretty sure that every word I typed is correct. So that means the book have a problem, and turns out that my friend is right about the answer 🙂
Thank you for pointing out the problem 😀
Hi tutor,
It’s me again :), this time I’m here with a question: “Last month the standard contribution sales was $10,000 and the following variances arose:
Total variable costs variance……………………………….2000 (A)
Sales price variance……………………………………………500 (F)
Sales volume contribution variance……………………….1000 (A)
What was the actual contribution for the last month?”
What I think the answer is 10000 – 2000 + 500 – 1000 = $7,500.
But the answer actually is $8,500 ( 10000 – 2000 + 500 ), so why don’t we keep subtracting it by 1000?
Thank you sir, thanks to you I finally get it.
Thanks for your reply 🙂 I get it.
Oh and sorry for any inconvenient, because when I posted this, It was nearly the afternoon in my time zone, and next times I’ll check it before posting questions.
Thank you. 😀
