When calculating the actual contribution, why don’t we add sales volume contribution variance to the standard contribution from actual sales ( sales volume contribution variance is favourable), Sir?
October 27, 2016 at 11:03 am #346266Because the sales volume contribution variance is the difference between the budget contribution and the standard contribution from the actual sales.
So if you are given the budget contribution then you do add the sales volume variance to get the standard contribution (and then afterwards adjust by all the other variances.
But if you already know the standard contribution from actual sales, then the sales volume variance is not relevant.August 3, 2020 at 12:30 pm #579046Can an example (like the exam type) be presented please?
ThanksAugust 3, 2020 at 1:29 pm #579063I don’t understand what you are asking.
I work through examples in my free lectures, we have a free test on each chapter, and you will have plenty of examples to practice in your Revision Kit.
