Flexible-budget and sales-volume variances
The flexible-budget variance for revenues is the difference between the actual revenues and the flexible-budget amount for the actual unit volume of sales.
Flexible-budget variance = Actual - Flexible-budget of revenues results amount
First class
= $6240000 – (x)
= $3240000 - $7680000
= U Business class = $9600000 – (x)
= $9600000 - $14400000
= $4800000U
Economy class = $10920000 – (x)
= $10920000 - $14040000
= U
U The $9360000 unfavorable total variance arises because Global Air sizably reduced the price for each class of travel relative to the budgeted price. The sales-volume variance shows the effect of the difference between the actual and budgeted quantity of the variable used to flex the flexible budget. For the revues of Global Air this variable is units sold. This variance can be calculated for each classes of service of Global Air.
Sales-volume Actual sales Budgeted sales Budgeted Variance of = Quantity - quantity x Selling price Revenues in units in units per unit First class = (2400 -1000) x $3200 = $4480000 F Business class = (60020-3000) x $2400 = $7200000 F Economy class = (15600-16000) x $900 = $360000 U Total

While the total sales-volume variance for revenues is €11 320 000 favorable, there is a combination of favorable variances for first class and business class and an unfavorable variance for economy class. Managers can gain additional insight into sales-volume changes by separating the sales-volume variance into a sales-quantity variance and a sales-mix variance.
