Document Summary

A budget that provides esimates of what revenues and cost should be for any level of acivity within a speciied range. Actual revenues and costs are compared to what the revenues and cost should have been for the actual level of acivity during the period, rather than to the planned budgeted revenues and cost from the staic budget. Flexible budget variance: the diference between actual and lexible budget amounts for revenues and expenses. Staic budget variances: the diference between actual and staic budget amounts for revenues and expenses. Sales volume variance: the diference between lexible and staic budget amounts for revenues and expenses.

b. what the costs and revenues should have been for the budgeted number of outputs.

c. [actual cost for the actual level of the revenue or cost driver] - [budget unit amount Ã the actual level of the revenue or cost driver].

d. the difference between budgeted and actual variable costs.

Overview: Classifying a companyâs costs allows for an in-depthanalysis of the impact that changes in output have on revenues,costs, and net income or net loss. A cost-volume-profit (CVP)analysis will be completed in order to determine the breakevenpoint. Relevant costs will be used to prepare a flexible budget.Additionally, an appropriate costing system should be selected andthe choice should be substantiated with reasonable rationale.Finally, a memo should be prepared for management that summarizesthe results of the quantitative analysis and makes recommendationsfor an optimal costing system to be ethically used by key decisionmakers. For Milestone One, you will use the MDE ManufacturingBudget (Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, andbreakeven point for the bird feeder division of the company. In Tab1 of your Student Workbook, classify costs as either product orperiod costs. Briefly explain the difference between the types ofcosts. Then, analyze the actual costs and, using Tab 2 of yourStudent Workbook, complete a cost-volume-profit analysis todetermine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current costand sales price level to earn a 10% profit and how much the salesprice would have to increase to earn a 10% profit at the same costand sales volume level. Submit the Student Workbook with Tabs 1 and2 completed with your cost calculations and a 1â2 page Worddocument that explains the implications of your findings andaddresses all of the critical elements in Section I.
