All variances are to be computed in contribution-margin terms.

Requirements

Calculate the sales-quantity variances for each product for June 2011.

Calculate the individual-product and total sales-mix variances for June 2011. Calculate the individual-product and total sales-volume variances for June 2011.

3. Briefly describe the conclusions you can draw from the variances.

Requirement 1. Calculate the sales-quantity variances for each product for June 2011.

Begin by determining the basic formula for Kazu Corporation's static-budget total contribution margin (C Plain wine glasses Chic wine glasses

Rearrange the formula to determine the sales mix for each product.

The sales-mix percentage of Plain wine glasses is 0%.

The sales-mix percentage of Chic wine glasses is 0%.

Next, determine the formula and compute the budgeted CM based on actual units sold of all products at 1
