This variance is found by comparing actual results and the flexible budget A. Spending variance B. Husker budget variance C. Master budget Variance D. Volume variance
A
Budget sales unit 75, actual sales unit 72, budget selling price $1.20, actual selling $1.40 A. $3.60 U volume variance for sales B. 3.60 F volume variance for sales C. $14.40 F volume variance for sales D. $10.80 F volume variance for sales
A Master= 75x 1.20= 90 Flex= 72x 1.2=86.4 Flex-Master =-3.60 Therefore Unfavorable
Budgeted sales units = 3500, var. cost/ unit=$2, FC=$4000. Actual sales volume= 3700 & FC=$3000 A. Flex budget total Exp.=$11,400 B. Flex budget total exp. =$11,000 C. Flex budget total exp. =$10,400 D. Flex budget total exp. =$10,000
A -> (3,700x $2) + 4,000
