Required:

1. Calculate the budgeted average unit contribution margin. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Use rounded answer in subsequent computations. _ per unit

2. Calculate the contribution margin volume variance.

_ (favorable or unfavorable?)

3. What if actual units sold of the convection oven decreased? How would that affect the contribution margin volume variance? (it would become less unfavorable or more favorable, or it would become more unfavorable or less favorable?)

What if actual units sold of the convection oven increased? How would that affect the contribution margin volume variance?

(it would become less unfavorable or more favorable, or it would become more unfavorable or less favorable?)
