Respuesta :

Answer: $700 Favorable

Explanation:

Total sales-volume variance = (Actual units - Static budget units) * (Contribution margin per unit of Static budget)

Contribution margin per unit of Static budget = ( Sales - Variable manufacturing costs - Variable marketing and administrative expenses) / Static units  

= (60,000 - 15,000 - 10,000) / 5,000    

= $7 per unit

Sales-volume variance = (5,100 - 5,000) * 7

= $700 Favorable

Actual sales are higher than budgeted sales so this is FAVORABLE.
