Reasons for Sales Volume Variance
If only one product, it’s simple: (Actual Units-Budgeted Units)*Budg. CM/unitWith multiple products, 2 reasons:The mix of products could change
The
overall number
of units sold could change
These are computed as impact on CM from:Sales MixSales Quantity16Slide17

Rationale:
If overall sales increased…
and the sales mix had been as expected (budgeted)…
then contribution margin would have increased at the budget rate per unit.

Further Analyzing the Sales-Quantity Variance
Why did Sales Quantity Change?
market-
share
variance
Impact on CM due to change in share
market-size variance
Impact on CM due to change in overall market size21Slide22
Market-Share Variance Example
Assume that ELI assumed a 20% market shareof a total industry sales forecast of 24,500 units of this type of software in the market.
In
2008,
reported
actualindustry sales were higher: 28,125 units.
ELI’s actual market share? 4,500 ÷ 28,125 = 16%
22Slide23
Market-Share Variance Example
Budgeted total contribution margin was $325,360.
Budgeted number of units was 4,900.
$325,360 ÷ 4,900 = $66.40/unit
To examine the impact of market share, we need the the budgeted average CM per unit.
23Slide24
Market-Share Variance Example
What is the market-share variance?
Actual market size in units
Actual market share – Budgeted share
Budgeted CM per composite unit for
budgeted mix
=
×
×
28,125*(0.16 – 0.20)
* $66.40 = $74,700 U
Note: Not computed product-by-product, since the Sales Mix Variance already separated out that effect. We now are subdividing the Quantity variance.
Given the actual market size
…if our share changed
…and our product mix is assumed constant, since the Market size variance measures that, then the effect will be proportional to the composite (average) CM.
24Slide25
Market-Size Variance
Actual market size in units – Budgeted market size
Budgeted market share
Budgeted CM per composite unit for budgeted mix
=
×
×
(28,125 – 24,500)
×
0.20 × $66.40 = $48,140 F
If the market size changed
…and we kept our budgeted market share (and of course our mix!)…
…then the effect on our CM would be according to our composite unit CM for our mix.
