2. The breakdown of the unfavorable sales-volume variance of $65,700 shows that the biggest
contributor is the 20,000 unit decrease in sales resulting in an unfavorable sales-quantity variance of
$78,000. There is a partially offsetting favorable sales-mix variance of $12,300 in contribution
margin as a result of the sales mix shifting in favor of the more profitable Kola (contribution margin
of $4.50 versus contribution margin of $3.50 for Limor).
