    Sir of the bpp kit in the question 14b.29

    I did the question based on marginal costing operating statement.

    But the question never stated budgeted contribution rather they have mentioned budgeted profit

    It’s so confusing sir

    Is the question wrong ?

    Because I tried to reconcile the profits and unable to get an answer

    The question and answer are correct (it is a past real exam question).

    The budgeted contribution is 25,000 + 12,000 = 37,000.

    After adjusting for the sales variances and variable cost variances, the actual contribution was 37,000 – 1,000 + 2,000 – 4,000 = 34,000

    The actual fixed overheads were 12,000 + 500 = 12,500.

    Therefore the actual profit is 34,000 – 12,500 = $21,500.
