You are Cindy, completing the analysis and developing a final report to Alan, president of BBCC. The report should analyze BBCCs current cost allocations and give advice for the future. It should be formatted as a memo and include the following:

Overview of 20X7 results (6marks)

Prepare overview of the 20X7 results. Discuss any significant differences between the 20X7 budget and the actual figures (Exhibits 2 to 4). Base the analysis on the revised figures from requirement 1. Your analysis should include a discussion of the following:

- difference between actual and budgeted sales quantities for each product

- changes in unit selling price and effect on sales

- change in gross margin

- overall unit cost changes in direct ingredients

- changes in direct labour in relation to sales dollars

A full variance analysis is not expected or required. Brief numerical summaries are encouraged to highlight changes.
