Respuesta :

Answer:

A. $1,600,000

B. Unfavorable

$2,400,000

C. $1,344,000

D. $256,000

E. $2,520,000

F. $120,000

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the sales activity variance for the basic model

Sales activity variance=(7,000 - 8,000) *($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales activity variance=$1,000*$600

Sales activity variance= $1,600,000

Therefore Sales activity variance for the basic model will be $1,600,000

b. The sales activity variance for the basic model is UNFAVORABLE reason been that the sales amount is lesser than the budgeted amount

Calculation for What is the sales activity variance for the deluxe model

Sales activity variance=(2,800 - 2,000) *($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales activity variance=800*3,000

Sales activity variance= $2,400,000

Therefore the sales activity variance for the deluxe model will be $2,400,000

c. Calculation for What is the sales mix variance for the basic model

Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 8,000/10,000 *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 80% *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 80% *(9,800)] *($1,600)

Sales mix variance=[7,000 -7,840 ] *($1,600)

Sales mix variance=840*$1,600

Sales mix variance= $1,344,000

Therefore the sales mix variance for the basic model will be $1,344,000

d. Calculation for What is the sales quantity variance for the basic model

Sales quantity variance=(9,800 - 10,000) x (8,000/10,000) x ($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales quantity variance= $256,000

Therefore the sales quantity variance for the basic model will be $256,000

e. Calculation for What is the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based

Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 2,000/10,000 *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 20% *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 20% *(9,800)] *($3,000)

Sales mix variance=[2,800 -1,960 ] *($3,000)

Sales mix variance=840*$3,000

Sales mix variance= $2,520,000

Therefore the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based will be $2,520,000

f. Calculation for What is the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model

Sales quantity variance=(9,800 - 10,000) x (2,000/10,000) x ($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales quantity variance= $120,000

Therefore the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model will be $120,000

The question is about variances of a machine distributor.

A Sales Activity Variance Basic

8000 - 7000 = 1000 * $8000

= $8,000,000

B. Unfavorable

Sales Activity Variance Deluxe

2000 - 2800 = 800 * $12000

=9,600,000

Favorable  

Sales Mix Variance Basic

$8000 - $6400 = $1600

1000 * $1600 = $1,600,000

Sales Mix Variance Deluxe

$12000 - $9000 = $3000

800 * $3000 = $2,400,000
