Need a income statement performance report for October. 2. What accounts for most of the difference between actual operating income and master budget operating income? 3. What is Popping Bubbles' master budget variance for operating income? Explain why the income statement performance report provides Popping Bubbles' managers with more useful information than the simple master budget variance. What insights can Popping Bubbles' managers draw from this performance report? Keep in mind for the previous data see first table and this was the information provided with that previous table; see here: Popping Bubbles produces multicolored bubble solution used for weddings and other events. Popping Bubbles' plant capacity is 72,500 kits. If actual volume exceeds 72,500 kits, the company must expand the plant. In that case, salaries will increase by 10%, depreciation by 15%, and rent by $7,000. Fixed utilities will be unchanged by any volume increase. The company's master budget income statement for October follows. It is based on expected sales volume of 65,000 bubble kits.
