The Octova Corporation manufactures two types of vacuum
cleaners: the ZENITH for commercial building use and the
House-Helper for residences. Budgeted and actual operating data for
the year 20X5 are as follows:
Static Budget
ZENITH
House-Helper Total
Number sold 23,000
80,000
103,000
Contribution margin $4,600,000
$24,000,000
$28,600,000
Actual Results
ZENITH
House-Helper Total
Number sold 30,000 60,000 90,000
Contribution margin $4,500,000
$30,000,000
$34,500,000
a. Calculate the contribution margin for
the flexible budget.
ZENITH: ?
House-Helper: ?
Flex-Budget Contribution Margin = ?
b. Determine the total static-budget
variance, the total flexible-budget variance, and the total
sales-volume variance in terms of the contribution margin.
Static Budget Variance =
?
Flex-Budget Variance = ?
Sales-Volume Variance = ?
Budgeted contribution margin per unit = Budgeted contribution margin / Budgeted sales unit
Zenith = $4,600,000 / 23,000 = $200 per unit
House-Helper = $24,000,000 / 80,000 = $300 per unit
a.
Contribution margin for Flexible Budget = Actual sales units * Budgeted contribution margin per unit
Zenith = 30,000 * $200 = $6,000,000
House-Helper = 60,000 * $300 = $18,000,000
Flexible budget contribution margin = $24,000,000
b.
Static budget variance = Actual results - Static budget
Static budget variance = $34,500,000 - $28,600,000
Static budget variance = $5,900,000 Favorable
Flexible budget variance = Actual results - Flexible budget
Flexible budget variance = $34,500,000 - $24,000,000
Flexible budget variance = $10,500,000 Favorable
Sales volume variance = Flexible budget - Static budget
Sales volume variance = $24,000,000 - $28,600,000
Sales volume variance = $4,600,000 Unfavorable
