Use the information in the Milestone Three Actual Costs and Revenue Data Appendix Word Document to evaluate your companys performance, and complete the remaining tabs in the Project Workbook Spreadsheet that you used for the Milestone One and Two assignments. At the end of the first month of opening your business, you calculate the actual operating costs of the business and the income you earned. You also notice and document the difference in what you budgeted for certain materials and labor against the actual amounts you spent on the same.

Completed Tabs:

Believe there is a miscalculation in the following two spreadsheets:

• Statement of Cost of Goods Sold: Prepare the statement of cost of goods sold in the COGS tab of the workbook. Remember to show your work using calculations to the side of the table or using appropriate formulas in the table. For your statement of cost of goods sold, use the following data regarding the actual costs incurred by the business over the past month:
• Materials purchased: $20,000
  • Consumed 80% of the purchased materials
• Direct labor: $8,493
• Overhead costs: $3,765

Note: Assume that the beginning materials and ending work in process are zero for the month.

• Income Statement: Use the given revenue data to prepare the Income Statement tab table and calculate the net income. Remember to show your work using calculations to the side of the table or using appropriate formulas in the table. Use the following revenue and cost information for the income statement. Note that the revenue you use will depend on the pricing level options you chose in Milestone Two. Also, assume that after accounting for weekends and other holidays, there were 20 business days in the first month of operation. For example, if you chose a sales price of $20 per collar, the actual number of collars sold in the month was 33 per day or 33 x 20 = 660 per month.

Established Sales Price	Number of Items Sold per Day
Collars
$20	33
$24	28
$28	23
Leashes
$22	28
$26	23
$30	18
Harnesses
$25	25
$30	22
$35	20

The other costs incurred by the business include:

• General and administrative salaries
  • Receptionist: $1,950
• Office supplies: $200
• Other business equipment: $150

• Variance Analysis: Prepare the data in the Variances tab to determine whether the variances are favorable or unfavorable. Remember to show your work using calculations to the side of the table or using appropriate formulas in the table.
  • Complete the data table for the variances by entering the budgeted (standard) and actual labor and material values. Remember to use the estimates for expected sales from your Milestone Two assignment.
  • Determine the variances for direct labor and direct materials in the Variances tab.
  • Evaluate the significance of the variances in the Variances tab, and mark them as favorable or unfavorable.Variance

At the end of the month, you find that the labor and materials spent on manufacturing collars was different from what you estimated:

• The collar maker had to work nine hours a day instead of eight due to an increased demand for collars.
• Because of the increased demand, the hourly rate you paid your employee for making the collars increased to $16.50.
• An increase in the cost of raw material led the direct material cost per collar to increase to $10.
• However, you also made and sold 60 more collars than you expected to sell in the month.

You now need to determine the variance in the materials and labor cost from what you estimated in Milestone Two based on the market research data.
