This is done so that managers can compare apples-to-apples, meaning they can compare actual revenues and expenses to revenues and expenses they would expect to achieve given the same volume. Therefore, Water Surf's flexible budget is based on 5 pools.

So basically, to find the variance: Variance* = Actual Sales - Budgeted Sales * if it's negative, it's U. if it's positive, it's F to find variance %: Variance %* = (Variance / Budgeted Sales) x 100 * the F or U is going to be the same from the Variance. just copy it.

7. Define the volume variance. What causes​ it?

The volume variance is the difference between the master budget and the flexible budget. The only difference between these two budgets is the volume of units on which they are based. Therefore, the volume variance is caused by differences between actual and expected volume.
