Ques 15

Budget sales X – 7000 @$30 p.u
Budget sales Y – 3000 @$40 p.u
std cont. p.u – 30% of selling price for each product

Actual sales X – 8000
Actual sales Y – 7000

What is the sales quantity variance?

i got $57,000(F) but the answer is $49,500(F). how is that?

Firstly converting actual sale to budget mix proportion: (8000+7000)/(7+3)=1500.
X: 7*1500=10500; Y: 3*1500=4500.
secondly compare these with budget sale units:
X: (7000-10500)*9=31500 F; Y: (3000-4500)*12=18000 F

jingdong is correct (even though he should not have answered in this forum, because it is Ask the Tutor, and he is not the tutor 🙂 But no problem 🙂 )

Sir, is there anything wrong with doing workings first on the answer sheet before solving the problem?

Thanks.
