14-28 (20 min.) Market-share and market-size variances (continuation of 14-27).

Actual Budgeted
Western region 12.3 million 10 million
Soda King 1.23 million 1.25 million
Market share 10% 12.5%

Average budgeted contribution margin per unit = $3.90 ($4,875,000 ÷ 1,250,000).

Solution Exhibit 14-28 presents the sales-quantity variance, market-size variance, and market-
share variance for 2017.

 Actual Budgeted  Budgeted contribution


Market share = Actual market ×  market – market  × margin per composite
variance size in units  share share  unit for budgeted mix

= 12,300,000 × (0.10 – 0.125) × $3.90


= 12,300,000 × 0.025 × $3.90
= $1,199,250 U

 Actual Budgeted  Budgeted Budgeted contribution


Market-size =  market size – market size  × market × margin per composite
variance  in units 
 in units share unit for budgeted mix

= (12,300,000 – 10,000,000) × 0.125 × $3.90

= 2,300,000 × 0.125 × $3.90

= 1,121,250 F

The market share variance is unfavorable because the actual 10% market share was lower than
the budgeted 12.5% market share. The market size variance is favorable because the market size
increased 23% [(12,300,000 – 10,000,000) ÷ 10,000,000].

The unfavorable market-share variance was greater than the increase in market size variance
resulting in an unfavorable sales-quantity variance.

F = favorable effect on operating income; U = unfavorable effect on operating income
a
Actual market share: 1,230,000 units ÷ 12,300,000 units = 0.10, or 10%
b
Budgeted average contribution margin per unit $4,875,000 ÷ 1,250,000 units = $3.90 per unit
c
Budgeted market share: 1,250,000 units ÷ 10,000,000 units = 0.125, or 12.5%
