When the boss called me in thought he was going to give me a pat on the back because know for a fact that my department worked more efficiently last month than it has ever worked before Instead, he tore me apart. I thought for a minute that it might be over the supplies that were stolen out of our warehouse last month. But they only amounted to a couple of hundred dollars, and just look at this report. Everything is m unfavorable. Direct labor wages and supplies are variable costs; supervision and depreciation are fixed costs; and maintenance and utilities are mixed costs. The fixed component of the budgeted maintenance cost is $15,700; the fixed component of the budgeted utilities cost is $13,700
