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 Gabriella

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 :-)
