			Percentage Occupied
	Ticket Price		Budgeted Seats			Actual Seats
Center	$	80		90	%		95	%
Side		70		80			85
Balcony		60		85			75

The actual ticket prices were the same as those budgeted. Once a show has been booked, the total cost does not vary with the total attendance.

Expert Solution

Requirement 1
The budgeted and actual sales mix percentages for different types of seats. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places. (i.e. .123456 = 12.3456%))
	Capacity (seats)	Budgeted Seats	Budgeted Sales Mix	Actual Seats	Actual Sales Mix
Center	2100	1890	28.6147%	1995	30.5513%
Side	2600	2080	31.4913%	2210	33.8438%
Balcony	3100	2635	39.8940%	2325	35.6049%
Total	7800	6605		6530
Requirement 2
The budgeted average contribution margin per seat. Assume the ticket price is also the contribution margin. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
What is the Budgeted average contribution margin per seat
Budgeted Avg. Contribution margin per seat = (Budgeted Sales x Ticket Price) / Total No. of Seats
Budgeted Avg. Contribution margin per seat = ((1890$80) + (2080$70) + (2635*$60)) / 7800	$ 58.32

3) The total sales mix variance. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Requirement 3A
Total Sales mix Variance = (Actual Quantity sold - Total Actual Quantity sold in Standard mix) x Contribution per seat
	A	B	C	(A - B ) x C
	Actual Seats	Total Actual Quantity sold in Standard mix =6530 x Budgeted Sales Mix	Contribution per seat	Sales Mix Variance
Center	1995	1868.54	$ 80.00	$ 10,117	F
Side	2210	2056.38	$ 70.00	$ 10,753	F
Balcony	2325	2605.08	$ 60.00	$ (16,805)	U
Total	6530	$ 6,530.00		$ 4,065	F

Requirement 3B
The total sales quantity variance. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Total Sales Quantity Variance = (Actual Sales Volume in Standard mix - Budgeted Sales) *Contribution per seat
	A	B	C	(A - B ) x C
	Total Actual Quantity sold in Standard mix =6530 x Budgeted Sales Mix	Budgeted Seats	Contribution per seat	Sales Quantity Variance
Center	1868.54	1890	$ 80.00	$ (1,717)	U
Side	2056.38	2080	$ 70.00	$ (1,653)	U
Balcony	2605.08	2635	$ 60.00	$ (1,795)	U
Total	6530.00	6605.00		$ (5,165)	U

Requirement 4
Total Sales Volume Variance = (Actual Sales - Budgeted Sales) * Contribution Per Seat	A	B	C	(A - B ) x C
	Actual Sales	Budgeted Sales	Contribution per seat	Sales Volume Variance
Center	1995	1890	$ 80.00	$ 8,400.00	F
Side	2210	2080	$ 70.00	$ 9,100.00	F
Balcony	2325	2635	$ 60.00	$ (18,600.00)	U
Total	6530.00	6605.00		$ (1,100.00)	U
