$800 F

A company sells a product for $3. The company prepares a flexible budget at two sales volumes. At a sales volume of 50 units, budgeted sales will be $blank. At a sales volume of 60 units, budgeted sales will be $blank

Blank 1: 150 Blank 2: 180

Actual sales volume for a period is 5,000 units. Budgeted sales volume is 4,500. Actual selling price per unit is $15 and budgeted price per unit is $15.75. The sales price variance is $

Blank 1: 3750

Blank 1: 5000

A company sells a product for $3. Direct materials are $1.80 per unit. The company prepares a flexible budget at two sales volumes. At a sales volume of 50 units, budgeted direct materials will be $blank. At a sales volume of 60 units, budgeted direct materials will be $blank

Blank 1: 90 Blank 2: 108

A flexible budget prepared (before/after) blank the period begins allows management to make adjustments to increase profits or decrease losses.

Blank 1: before

When compared to the budgeted amount, if the actual cost or revenue contributes to a higher income, then the variance is considered blank

Blank 1: favorable

A blank variance is the difference between the actual price per unit and the standard price per unit.The standard overhead rate is computed separately for:

Blank 1: price or rate

Budget blank compare actual results to budgeted results.

Blank 1: reports or report

Preset costs for delivering a product or service under normal conditions are called blank costs.

Blank 1: standard

Which of the following is the correct formula?

Cost variance = (AQ x AP) - (SQ x SP)

True or false: Volume variances are due to the difference between expected production and actual production and, therefore, never need to be investigated.

False

Actual price

The amount paid to acquire input

A manufacturing company has an unfavorable volume variance. Which statement is true?

The company did not reach its predicted operating level.

Standard quantity

The expected input for the quantity of output

Actual quantity

The input used to manufacture the quantity of output

Standard price

The preset, or expected price

True or false: A flexible budget reporting sales volumes at three different levels will have the same fixed costs.
