A company sells two products x and y. Product x sells for 30 per unit and achieves a standard contribution of 12 per unit which is 40% of the selling price. Product y a new product sells for 80 per unit and achieves a standard contribution of just 10 per unit which is 12.5% of the selling price. Budgeted sales are 5000 units of x and 3000 units of y. However, the sudden cancellation of an advertising campaign for product y has meant that sales for the product will be well below budget, and there has been some price discounting in an attempt to obtain sales for the product. Sales of x were in line with the budget.
