ACCT 2102 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8: Negative Number, Fixed Cost, Variable Cost
Document Summary
Master budget is a benchmark against which we evaluate actual performance. Difference between actual results and budgeted amount: favorable variance (f): actual performance is better than budgeted. Costs: actual < budgeted: unfavorable variance (u): actual performance is worse than budgeted. How the difference between the profits arise: sales price, sales volume. Input prices for direct labor and direct materials. Input efficiencies (amount of materials and labor per unit product) Total profit variance: total profit variance = actual profit master budget profit. Then decompose total profit variance into either: sales volume variance, flexible budget variance (all other sources of variances except sales volume) Flexible budget actual sales volume [the only difference from master budget] budgeted sales price (per unit) budgeted fixed costs budgeted unit variable costs: & budgeted input prices and input quantities per unit of output. = flexible budget profit master budget profit or. = (actual sales q budgeted sales q) budgeted unit cm.
