Soda-King prepared the budget for 2017 assuming a 12.

5% market share based on total sales in the


western region of the Australia. The total soft drinks market was estimated to reach sales of 10 million
cartons in the region. However, actual total sales volume in the western region was 12.3 million
cartons. Calculate the market-share and market-size variances for Soda-King in 2017. (Calculate all
variances in terms of contribution margin.) Comment on the results.

(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.

= 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
in units in units 
variance =  –   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.

Sales-Quantity Variance
$78,000 U
