Q1) a company can follow the following steps when preparing a budget.
1. Identify the actual quantity of output.
2. Calculate the flexible budget for revenues based on budgeted selling price and actual quantity of output.
3. Calculate the flexible budget for costs based on budgeted variable cost per output, actual quantity of output, and budgeted fixed costs.
these steps would help establish the basis for comparing actual and budgeted work for the business.
any variance could then be determined and further investigated on the basis of being favorable or un favorable.
you're required to download any company information and prepare a variance analysis for any 2 years (preferred to be within the last 5 years) and comment if such variances are favorable or unfavorable (with proper reasoning).
Note: prepare at least 3 variances analysis with proper reason.
