Frost Production Company Limited. Standard cost operating statement for the year to 31 March 2016:
| £ | |||
| Budgeted sales (100 × £150) | 15000 | ||
| Budgeted cost of sales (100 × £100) |
\underline{10000} | ||
| Budgeted profit | 5000 | ||
| Sales volume profit variance (1) | \underline{(500)} | ||
| Budgeted profit from actual sales | 4500 | ||
| Variances: (2) | (F) | (A) | |
| £ | £ | ||
| Sales price (3) | 900 | ||
| Direct materials usage | 100 | ||
| Direct materials price | 700 | ||
| Direct labour efficiency | 400 | ||
| Direct labour rate | 800 | ||
| Variable overhead efficiency | 100 | ||
| Variable overhead expenditure | 200 | ||
| Fixed overhead volume | 200 | ||
| Fixed overhead expenditure | \underline{400} | ____ | |
| \underline{\underline{2500} } | \underline{\underline{1300} } | \underline{1200} | |
| Actual profit | \underline{\underline{5700} } | ||
1 Sales volume profit variance = (actual quantity – budgeted quantity) × standard profit per unit
= (90 – 100) × £50 = \underline{£500 (A)}
2 Details of the cost variances were shown in the answer to Example 16.3.
3 Selling price variance = (actual selling price per unit – standard selling price per unit) × actual sales quantity
= (£160 – £150) × 90 = \underline{£900 (F)}
