Budgeted X - 7000 units , Y - 3000 units
Actual X - 8000 units, Y - 7000 units
SP: X - $30 , Y - $40
Standard contribution for both products is 30% of selling price.
Question: What is the sales quantity variance?
I keep getting 57,000 (F) but the right answer is 49,500 (F) , Could you please tell me where I am going wrong sir?

Sales Quantity Variance - MCQ
11y ago#1The actual sales are in total 15,000.
If they were in standard mix then it would be 10,500 X;s and 4,500 Y'x
At standard contributions of $9 and $12, this would give a total contribution of 148,500.
The budget sales give a total contribution of 99,000.
The difference is 148500 - 99000 = 49500.
Okay so the sales quantity variance is similar to the sales yield variance and not the sales volume variance as I calculated right? Thanks again John :D
How did you get 148500?
(9*8000)+(12*7000) = 156000
11y ago#4Spyker: Correct, and you are welcome.
Fals: you have not read my answer properly - read it again!
It says to cost out 10500 X's and 4500 Y's (why have you typed 8,000 and 7,000???)
