Question 2: R&H Cube is a small tax consulting firm offering its services to both corporate and private clients. R&H has installed a standard costing system whereby its CEO can analyze variances at the end of each year. The (static) budget for Year 2 is set equal to the actual data of Year 1. In Year 1, R&H served 500 clients, generating total revenues of $225,000. Its variable costs in Year 1 consisted of 67,500 professional labor costs, and $20,000 administrative support costs. R&H's fixed cost in Year I was 45,000. R&H's actual data for Year 2 is as follows: an actual number of 450 clients served resulted in actual revenues of $220,000; actual professional labor cost was $63,000; actual administrative support cost was $19,000; and actual fixed cost was $47,000. Required: a. Conduct a comprehensive variance analysis based on the above data. Compute sales-volume variances and flexible-budget variances for revenues, professional labor costs, administrative support costs, and for fixed costs. b.
