Budgeted X – 7000 units , Y – 3000 units
Actual X – 8000 units, Y – 7000 unitsSP: 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?
November 30, 2014 at 4:39 pm #214789The 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.
November 30, 2014 at 4:56 pm #214797Okay 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 😀
November 30, 2014 at 6:32 pm #214828How did you get 148500?
(9*8000)+(12*7000) = 156000December 1, 2014 at 8:20 am #214971Spyker: 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???) - AuthorPosts
