The managemnet of enterprises was reviewing the results at year end and noted the following:
Product |
Budgeted contributionmargin per unit |
Budgeted sales volume | Actual sales voulme |
X | $125 | 65,000 | 75,000 |
Y | $110 | 60,000 | 45,000 |
Z | $105 | 75,000 | 80,000 |
Total | 200,000 | 200,000 |
What is the sales mix variance?
Sales mix variance
= Budgeted contribution Per unit * ( Actual sales in Units - Actual sales Units in Budget mix %)
Product | Contribution Per Unit | Actual Units | - | Act Units in Budget Mix | Variance | F/U |
X | 125 | 75000 | - | 65000 | 1250000 | F |
Y | 110 | 45000 | - | 60000 | -1650000 | U |
Z | 105 | 80000 | - | 75000 | 525000 | F |
125000 | F |
In the given question, we see total number of units are same for budget and actual. Hence when we put the actual sales in budget mix we have same numbers like budget sales coming for actual sales in budgeted mix.
Thus this company had 125,000 Favorable sale mix variance.
Note: For sales, excess of actual over budget represents a favorable variance, since its a revenue.
