Actual Budgeted
Western region 12.3 million 10 million
Soda King 1.23 million 1.25 million
Market share 10% 12.5%
Solution Exhibit 14-28 presents the sales-quantity variance, market-size variance, and market-
share variance for 2017.
= 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.
