sales volume was 5% less than budget. (1) What was the sales price variance for the
year? ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Sales price variance= $121,410 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard selling price= $71

Actual selling price= 71*0.9= $63.9

Actual number of units sold= 18,000*0.95= 17,100

To calculate the selling price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Sales price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Sales price variance= (71 - 63.9)*17,100

Sales price variance= $121,410 unfavorable
