Solutions

Expert Solution

Contribution margin variance = Actual contribution margin - Budgeted Contribution margin
= $797,500 - $878,700
= $81,200 U

Contribution margin volume variance = Standard Margin* - Budgeted Margin
= ($878,700 / 300000* 290000 ) - $878,700
= $849,410 - $878,700
= $29290 U

*Standard Margin = Budgeted margin * Actual Units

Market Size variance = Budgeted market share % * (Actual sales units - Budgeted sales units) * Average budgeted margin per unit
= (300000/1200000 * 100) * (290000 units - 300000 units) * ($878,700 / 300000)
= 25% * 10000 units* $2.929
= $7322.5 U

Market Share variance = [Actual market share % - Budgeted market share %] * Actual sales units * Average budgeted margin per unit
= [ (290000/1250000 * 100) - (300000/1200000 * 100)] * 290000 * $2.929
= [ 23.2% - 25%] * 290000 * $2.929
= 1.8% * 290000 * $2.929
= $15289.38 U

Market share % = Actual or Budgeted Units sold / Actual or budgeted market size *100
