Product S | 162200 UF | 276000 F |
Product T | 599500 UF | 37250 F |
Detail working for your easy understanding
Sales Price Variance= (Actual price-Budgeted Price) X Actual Quantity Sold |
Product R= (27-28)X 117000=$117000 UF |
Actual Quantity Sold= 3159000/27=117000 Unit |
Product S= (19-20)X 162200 =$162200 UF |
Actual Quantity Sold= 3081800/19=162200 Unit |
Product T= (10-20)X 59950 =$599500 UF |
Actual Quantity Sold= 599500/10=59950 Unit |
Sales Volume Variance=( Actual Sales Quantity- Budgeted Sales Quantity)X Budgeted Price |
Product R= ( 117000-114900) X 28=$58800 F |
Product S= ( 162200-148400)X20=$276000 F |
Product R= ( 59950-22700)X20=$37250 F |
