Question

1. Contribution Margin Volume Variance

   Iliff, Inc., produces and sells two types of countertop ovens—the toaster oven and the convection oven. Budgeted and actual data for the two models are shown below.

   Budgeted Amounts:

   		Toaster Oven		Convection Oven		Total
   Sales:
   ($100 × 29,500)		$2,950,000
   ($149 × 14,500)				$2,160,500		$5,110,500
   Variable expenses		460,000		800,000		1,260,000
   Contribution margin		$2,490,000		$1,360,500		$3,850,500

   Actual Amounts:

   		Toaster Oven		Convection Oven		Total
   Sales:
   ($82 × 25,000)		$2,050,000
   ($157 × 13,500)				$2,119,500		$4,169,500
   Variable expenses		570,400		658,900		1,229,300
   Contribution margin		$1,479,600		$1,460,600		$2,940,200

   Required:

   1. Calculate the budgeted average unit contribution margin. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Use rounded answer in subsequent computations.
   $ per unit

   2. Calculate the contribution margin volume variance.

   $  

   3. What if actual units sold of the convection oven decreased? How would that affect the contribution margin volume variance?
