Hello, I need help with the attachments. I am attaching the blank assignments but I have already completed them all. I really need help with the essay portion (budget variance report) and this is the major one that really needs some help. Also, I will need someone to double check my work. I am 100% sure I did everything complete on the student worksheet except for the Sales Commission Expense in theSelling Expense Budgets so this will need to be reviewed. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I would be willing to submit my assigned work so you can take a look at it.

(REMEMBER: DELETE EVERYTHING THAT APPEARS IN RED.) Please review the Final Project Part I Rubric (budget variance analysis) to see how your paper will be scored. Be sure to follow APA format when providing references. If you have questions on APA format, you can check the Purdue OWL website or seek help from the SNHU Writing Center. Notes on APA in a Formal Assignment Set margins to 1 inch all around. Use 12-point Times New Roman font and make sure to double-space. Paragraphs should be at least three to four sentences. Do not include the headings \"Introduction\" and \"Conclusion.\" These are included below to help you lay out your paper. APA format assumes that the introduction begins the paper, the body continues the paper, and the conclusion wraps up the paper, so those headings are not needed. Indent the first line of every paragraph 0.5\". Be careful not to use personal pronouns such as \"I.\" Make sure to delete the Section 1, Section 2, etc. headings as well. Be sure to replace all the text in red on this template with your own writing. (This entire first page can be deleted after you review the suggestions. The paper should begin with your title page that follows.) ACC 202: Final Project Part I Budget Variance Report Submission Your Name Southern New Hampshire University (REMEMBER: DELETE EVERYTHING THAT APPEARS IN RED.) Introduction (Delete this heading in your final paper.) In your opening paragraph, very briefly introduce the purpose of your paper. Recall that you will be discussing the operating budget and variance analysis as explained in your rubric instructions. Three or four sentences are sufficient. Section 1 (Delete this heading in your final paper.) Using content from your Peyton Approved student worksheet, budget variance worksheet, and from your readings from Chapters 22, 23, and 25 of your Horngrens's text, discuss the budget variances and what each tells you. Section 2 (Delete this heading in your final paper.) Using content from your Peyton Approved student worksheet, budget variance worksheet, and from your readings from Chapters 22, 23, and 25 of your Horngrens's text, discuss what needs to be investigated to determine the reasons for the variance(s) and why. Conclusion (Delete this heading in your final paper.) The conclusion reminds the reader what your paper is about and allows you to make a final point without introducing new information. Three or four sentences are sufficient. References Nobles, T. L., Mattison, B. L., Matsumura, E. M. (2014). Horngren's financial and managerial accounting (4th ed.).

This paper also deals with reasons of variances regarding direct materials and direct labor and will reach to colclusion why it is necessary to investigate variances. Direct material price variance is 0 neither favorable nor unfavorable. Direct material efficiency variance is unfavorable $28,055 which indicates that higher quantity of materials is used than budgeted quantity and the total direct material variance is unfavorable $28,055. Direct labor price variance is favorable $33,000 and the actual labor rate is paid lower than budgeted rate for labor. Direct labor efficiency variance is unfavorable $48,000 which indicated that actual hours taken are higher than budgeted labor hours. Therefore total direct labor variance is unfavorable $15,000. To investigate variances, it is required to compare actual rate with standard rate for materials and direct labor. To investigate efficiency of material consumed, actual quantity of material used is compared with standard quantity of materials allowed for actual production. To investigate labor efficiency, actual hours paid are compared with standard hours allowed for actual production Therefore it can be concluded that, Peyton Approved has efficiency in payment of labor as labor rate variance is favorable, but production department is inefficient in consumption of materials and direct labor as both efficiency variances are unfavorable.
