Scenario: The Redmond Management Association held its annual public relations luncheon in April Year $2.$ Based on the previous year$$s results, the organization allocated $$25,290$ of its operating budget to cover the cost of the luncheon. To ensure that costs would be appropriately controlled, you, the treasurer, prepared the following budget for the Year $2$ luncheon. Mr$.$ Snow was extremely upset with the budget deficit. He immediately called you, the treasurer, to complain about the budget variance for the meal cost. He told you that the added dessert caused the meal cost to be $$4,810($$$25,110-$$$20,300)$ over budget. He added, $$I could expect a couple hundred dollars one way or the other, but several thousand is totally unacceptable. At the next budget meeting of the budget committee, I want you to explain what happened.$$
