Using the information given above, you are required to prepare for the month of March 2019:

1. Sales budget
2. Production budget (unit)
3. Direct material usage and purchase budget
4. Direct labour budget

Hempstead Corporation plans to manufacture 8,000 units over the next month at the following costs: direct materials, $480,000; direct labor, $60,000; variable manufacturing overhead, $150,000; straight-line depreciation, $24,000, and other fixed manufacturing overhead, $272,000. The result is total budgeted cost of $990,000. Shortly after the conclusion of the month, Hempstead reported the following costs: Direct materials used $490,500 Direct labor 69,600 Variable manufacturing overhead 132,000 Depreciation 24,000 Other fixed manufacturing overhead 272,000 Total $988,100

Howard Krueger and his crews turned out 7,200 unitsa remarkable feat given that the company's manufacturing plant was closed for several days because of blizzards and impassable roads. Krueger was especially pleased with the fact that total actual costs were less than budget. He was thus very surprised when Hempstead's general manager expressed unhappiness about the plant's financial performance.

Required: Prepare a performance report that fairly compares budgeted and actual costs for the period just endednamely, the report that the general manager likely used when assessing performance.
