Sales Price Variance Sales Volume Variance Product R $Explanation / Answer
1)
Product R
Sale Price Variance = (Actual Sale Price - Budgeted Sale Price)*Actual Sale Quantity
Sale Price Variance = (25-26)*(3075000/25)
Sale Price Variance = 123000 Unfavorable
Sales Volume Variance = (Actual Sale Volume - Budgeted Sale Volume)*Budgeted Sale Price
Sales Volume Variance = (3075000/25 - 120000)*26
Sales Volume Variance = 78000 Favorable
Product S
Sale Price Variance = (Actual Sale Price - Budgeted Sale Price)*Actual Sale Quantity
Sale Price Variance = (20-22)*(3254000/20)
Sale Price Variance = 325400 Unfavorable
Sales Volume Variance = (Actual Sale Volume - Budgeted Sale Volume)*Budgeted Sale Price
Sales Volume Variance = (3254000/20 - 150000)*22
Sales Volume Variance = 279400 Favorable
Product T
Sale Price Variance = (Actual Sale Price - Budgeted Sale Price)*Actual Sale Quantity
Sale Price Variance = (10-20)*(540000/10)
Sale Price Variance = 540000 Unfavorable
Sales Volume Variance = (Actual Sale Volume - Budgeted Sale Volume)*Budgeted Sale Price
Sales Volume Variance = (540000/10 - 20000)*20
Sales Volume Variance = 680000 Favorable
