variance

Ttaraf11y ago
A company has budgeted on selling 7000 units of product X at a selling price of $30 per unit and 3000 units of product Y at selling price of $40 per unit. The standard contribution per unit is 30% of selling price for both products They actually sell 8000 units of X and 7000 units of Y. What is the Sales quantity variance?

If you have a problem then ask, but please do not just set me a question! I can do the question, but it is not me who is sitting the exam. They budgeted on selling a total of 10,000 units, and making a contribution of 99,000. They actual sold a total of 15,000 units, and so the volume variance is 5/10 x 99,000 = 49500.
