Actual vs. Budget Performance Report For the Month Ended May 31 Master Master Budget Actual Budget Variance Sales volume (number of cases sold) Sales revenue 59,000 $ 224,500 $ 206,500 118,200 106,200 $ 106,300$ 100,300 69,000 $ 36,500 $ 31,300 61,000 Less: Variable expenses Contribution margin Less: Fixed expenses 69,800 Operating income 1. What is the budgeted sales price per unit? 2. What is the budgeted variable expense per unit? 3. What is the budgeted fixed cost for the period? 4. Compute the master budget variances. Be sure to indicate each variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable 5. Management would like to determine the portion of the master budget variance that is (a) due to volume being different than originally anticipated, and (b) due to some other unexpected cause. Prepare a flexible budget performance report to address these questions, using the actual sales volume of 61,000 units and the budgeted sales volume of 59,000 units. Use the original budget assumptions for sales price, variable cost per unit, and fixed costs, assuming the relevant range stretches from 54,000 to 71,000 units. 6. Using the flexible budget performance report you prepared for Requirement 5, answer the following questions a. How much of the master budget variance (calculated in Requirement 4) for operating income is due to volume being higher than expected? b. How much of the master budget variance for variable expenses is due to some cause other than volume? What could account for the flexible budget variance for sales revenue? What is the volume variance for fixed expenses? Why is it this amount? c. d
