A company uses standard marginal costing.Last month the standard contribution on actual sales was $10,000 and the following variances arose:
total variable costs variance $2,000 (A)
sales price variance $500 (F)
sales volume contribution variance $1,000 (A)What was the actual contribution?
can i know the answer with the working please
February 23, 2015 at 1:14 am #229693I think the answer is 8500. if it is then I can give u the working on it.
February 24, 2015 at 11:55 pm #230070Its 7500
February 25, 2015 at 1:06 am #230072how can it b 7500.it is all about contribution (selling price n variable cost)
February 25, 2015 at 7:46 am #230087The correct answer is 8,500.
(The sales volume contribution variance is not relevant because you are starting with the standard contribution on the actual sales, not with the budgeted contribution)
