The document calculates contribution margin for basic and complete product units sold. It then compares the actual total contribution margin to the budgeted amount. There was a favorable variance of $10,750. When calculating the contribution margin volume variance, it equals $0, indicating it is neither favorable nor unfavorable. The sales mix variance is calculated and shows a favorable basic sales mix variance of $1,406.25 and a favorable complete sales mix variance of $2,343.75.

Darwin Company Calculation Jan 25th
(I) Calculate contribution margin= selling price- variable expense * # of units
Basic: SP = 240 Variable expense=65 # of units= 600 Contribution Margin for basic= 240-65= 175 * 600= 105,000 Complete: SP= 480 V.E= 200 # of units =400 Contribution Margin for complete= 480-200=280 * 400=112,000 Actual Total Contribution= (105,000+ 112,000) =217,000
Budgeted Contribution Margin
Basic: SP=220 V.E=70 # of units=625 Contribution Margin for basic= 220-70=150*625=93,750 Complete SP= 500 V.E= 200 # of units=375 Contribution Margin for complete=500-200=300*375=112,500 Budgeted Contribution Margin=93750+112,500=206,250 Difference between the two=217,000-206,250=10,750 (II) Calculate the contribution margin volume variance= (Total actual sale quantity-total budgeted sale quantity) x budgeted unit contribution margin (total budgeting con/ budgeting sales quantity (600+400) -(625+375) x 206250/1000 (1000-1000) x 206.25=0 N.B When it is 0 its neither adverse nor favorable.
(III) Calculate the sales mix variance. Rec (33.28)
Basic sales mix= (actual sales quantity- budgeting sales quantity) x (budgeting contribution per unit -budgeting average unit contribution margin) (600-625) x (150-206.25) =1406.25 (basic is less profitable product hence favourable).150 less than complete sale.
Complete sales mix= (actual sales quantity- budgeting sales quantity) x
(budgeting contribution per unit -budgeting average unit contribution margin) (400- 375) x (300-206.25) =2343.75
