pusl 29!: Assignment on Volume Variances Arrow Manufacturing Inc. (AMI) manufactures gadgets. It makes two types, the A100 and the 0200. The marketing group has reviewed the year-end profrtability reports but are unsure as to how well the company fared compared to the original budget. AMI anticipated combined sales volume of 144,000 units, for the A100 and the 3-200, when it developed the current year budget. The A100 had typically accounted for 25% ofthe company's sales in the past and senior management had used that percentage in calculating the current year's budget, although he was hopeful that the B-200's proportion would grow. In the budget, the A100 had a unit selling price of $525.00. Variable manufacturing costs were budgeted at $300.00 per unit. The only variable operating cost was a commission of 3% of the unit selling price that was paid to the sales representatives. The 0200 is a higher quality gadget that uses better materials and is more labour intensive to manufacture than the A100. The B~200 was budgeted to sell at $900.00. The variable manufacturing costs were budgeted at 45% of the budgeted selling price. The commission paid on the 0200 was 10% in order to encourage sales. 2020 was a difcult year and sales were lower than anticipated. In an attempt to retain market share, the selling price ofthe A100 was reduced by 10% and by8% on the 3400. Sales commissions, based on the unit selling price, remained at 8% for the A100 and 10% on the 3400.
