1.     What is the sales activity variance for the basic model?


sales activity variance for the basic model = (8000-7000)*(8000-6400) = $ 1600,000

$1,600,000

sales activity variance for the basic model is unfavorable

sales activity variance for the deluxe model = (2800-2000)*(12000-9000) = $ 2400,000


$2,400,000


4.     What is the sales mix variance for the basic model?


sales mix variance for the basic model = (7840-7000)*(8000-6400) = 1344000


$1,344,000


5.     What is the sales quantity variance for the basic model?


sales quantity variance for the basic model = (8000-7840)*(8000-6400) = 256000


$256,000

sales mix variance for the deluxe model based = (2800-1960)*(12000-9000)= $2,520,000


$2,520,000

the sales mix variance for the deluxe model is favorable

sales quantity variance for the deluxe model =(2000-1960)*(12000-9000)= 120000


$120,000

9.     Is the sales quantity variance for the basic model favorable or unfavorable?
