Johnson Electrical produces industrial ventilation fans. The company plans to manufacture 87,000 fans evenly over the next quarter at the following costs: direct material, $1,740,000; direct labor, $522,000; variable production overhead, $639,450; and fixed production overhead, $960,000. The $960,000 amount includes $84,000 of straight-line depreciation and $105,000 of supervisory salaries. Shortly after the conclusion of the quarter's first month, Johnson reported the following costs: Direct material Direct labor Variable production overhead Depreciation Supervisory salaries Other fixed production overhead $ 554,600 159,300 220,000 28,000 37,600 252,000 $1,251,500 Total Dave Kellerman and his crews turned out 25,000 fans during the month-a remarkable feat given that the firm's manufacturing plant was closed for several days because of storm damage and flooding. Kellerman was especially pleased with the fact that overall financial performance for the period was favorable when compared with the budget. His pleasure, however, was very short-lived, as Johnson's general manager issued a stern warning that performance must improve, and improve quickly, if Kellerman had any hopes of keeping his job.

Prepare a performance report that compares static budget and actual costs for the period just ended (i.e., the report that Kellerman likely used when assessing his performance). 4.
