    Dear Sir,

    Could you please help me to understand where I made mistake if my answer is not correct?

    A company has a budget to sell 7000 units of product X at selling price of $30 per unit and 3000 unit of product Y at selling price of $40.
    The standard contribution per unit is 30% of selling price for both products. They actually sell 8000 units of X and 7000 unit of Y

    What is qty contribution variances.

    My answer is $49,500 (F)

    Actual tot qty 15000 units
    Budged tot qty 10000 units
    5000 (F)

    Average contribution

    7000 * ( 30%of 30) 63,000
    3000 * (30%of 40) 36,000
    99,000/10,000 = 9,9 *5000 = 49,500

    The answer provided in the question is 48,500 (F)

    Thanks in advance for your help

    It is a typing error and the correct answer is $49,500 favourable.

    If you look at the answer at the end of the lecture notes then it does explain that it is $49,500 favourable!

    You asked the same thing before and I gave you the same reply 🙂

    Hi Sir,

    I don’t remember I had already asked the same question, if I did sorry.
