If the sales volume variance is $12,000, then they must have produced 12,000 / 6 = 2,000 units less than budgeted.
If they were doing marginal costing, then the variance would be the 2,000 units multiplied by the standard contribution which is $10 per unit.
You must watch the free lectures on variances!
February 22, 2016 at 3:33 am #301500if calculate absorption sales volume variance is it multiply standard profit? selling price minus profit?
February 22, 2016 at 4:21 am #301505Profit is not selling price minus profit!
Profit is selling price minus costs.
Contribution is selling price minus variable costs.Again, I do suggest that you watch the free lectures!
