    I don’t understand what you are asking 🙁

    Hi john just a little clarification

    when a question ask for contribution for sales mix & quantity variance the answer is subtract variables cost from selling price to get the contribution amount but when asked for profit you have to include fixed cost to arrive at profit subtract variable & fixed cost from selling price to get the profit

    That is correct (and is the same for ‘normal’ sales variances – not only when mix is involved).
