    Hi 

    Sales volume variance is the difference between actual sales volume and budgeted sales volume multiply with standard contribution margin 
    question one standard contribution margin is 
    120,000/ 12000 = 10 
    (Actual sales - budgeted sales )  x sCm
    ( 11000 - 12000 ) x 10 
    -1000x 10  = 10,000 U

    Question 2

    SCM is 6 - 3.5 = 2.5 
    42000-40000= 2000 x 2.5 = 5000 F

    In flexible budget actual data is used with standard price , that's why difference Between flexible budget and static budget is due to 1000 units which were sold less , so your contribution margin will be reduced due to difference of sales volume which is -1000 x 10 , 10000 U
