Answers:

1) Sales Activity Variance

wireless model = 280000 Unfavorable

wireless and cellular models = 361600 Favorable

.

2) Sales Mix Variance

wireless model = 200799.2 Unfavorable

wireless and cellular models = 405184.1 Favorable

.

3) Sales Quantity Variance

wireless model = 79200.8 unfavorable

wireless and cellular models = 43584.1 Unfavorable

.

Step by step solution:

Budgeted Contribution Per unit = Budgeted Selling Price- Budgeted Variable cost

wireless model = 202 -90 =112

wireless and cellular model = 436 -210 = 226

.

Part 1 Calculating Activity Variance

Sales Activity Variance = (Actual Sales Volume - Budgeted Sales volume)* Budgeted Contribution Per unit

wireless model = (8500-11000)*112 = -280000 Or 280000 Unfavorable

wireless and cellular model = (4600-3000)*226 = 361600 Favorable

.

Part 2 Calculating Mix and Quantity Variance

Calculating Budgeted Sales Mix

The budgeted sales mix is the proportion of sales volume that each product represents of the total budgeted sales volume

wireless models = 11000/(11000+3000) = 78.57%

wireless and cellular models = 3000/(11000+3000) = 21.43%

.

Calculating actual sales volume at budgeted mix

The actual sales volume at budgeted mix can be calculated by applying above percentages to actual total sales volume

wireless models = 78.57%*13100 =10292.67

wireless and cellular models = 21.43% * 13100 = 2807.33

.

Calculating the Sales mix variance

Sales mix variance = (Actual sales volume - Actual sales volume at budgeted mix) x Budgeted Contribution Per unit

wireless models = (8500- 10292.85) *112 = -200799.2 Or 200799.2 Unfavorable

wireless and cellular models = (4600-2807.15) *226 = 405184.1 Favorable

.

Calculating Sales quantity variance

Sales quantity variance = (Actual sales volume at budgeted mix - Budgeted sales volume) x Budgeted Contribution Per unit

wireless models =(10292.85-11000)*112= -79200.8 Or 79200.8 unfavorable

wireless and cellular models =(2807.15 - 3000)*226 = -43584.1 or 43584.1 Unfavorable
