Q Co uses standard marginal costing. Last month the standard contribution on actual sales was $$\$ 10,000$$ and the following variances arose:
$$
\begin{array}{lr}
\text { Total variable costs variance } & \$ \\
\text { Sales price variance } & 2,000 \text { Adverse } \\
\text { Sales volume contribution variance } & 500 \text { Favourable } \\
1,000 \text { Adverse }
\end{array}
$$
What was the actual contribution for last month?
