    No!

    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!

    Profit 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!
