1. Identify budgeted unit cost and unit price information and compare with actual results (i.e., budgeted unit cost, budgeted unit price, actual unit cost, actual unit price) for France. Please interpret your findings.

2. Compare and evaluate France using variance analysis. Please interpret variances and discuss the impacts of weather, market share, product price, and transfer pricing. (i.e., comparing budgets based on actual temperature, budgets based on projected temperature, and actual results may help to evaluate the impact of weather; flexible budgets based on actual sales volumes may help to evaluate operating efficiency)
