Bloom Limited was the subject of the following press story: 

“Bloom is proud to announce that it has managed to maintain its market share despite an overall increase in the market size by 10%.”  However, the sales director when challenged, by this journalist recently admitted having been forced to reduce prices by $1.50 per bunch on average on a budget volume of  12,000 bunches.  All is not as rosy as it seems in Bloom’s garden!

 If the standard variable cost of a bloom bunch of flowers is $20 and the standard contribution gained is $5 what is the favourable sales volume variance?
