The planning budget, based on 1,000 units, shows revenue of $24,000 and $6,250 for supplies. A total of 1,200 units were actually produced and sold. The flexible budget will show

$28,800 revenue $7,500 for supplies

If the planned budget revenue for 5,000 units is $120,000, the flexible budget revenue for 4,500 units is

108,000

Price variances can only be computed for direct materials and direct labor. A labor efficiency variance is a quantity variance. The variance that computes the price difference for materials is called a material rate variance.

A labor efficiency variance is a quantity variance.

The material quantity variance measures the difference between the ______ quantity of materials used in production and the_____ quantity of materials allowed for the actual output, multiplied by the standard price per unit of materials

Blank 1: actual Blank 2: standard

A(n) ________ __________ is the difference between how much of an input was actually used and how much should have been used and is stated in dollar terms using the standard price of the input

Blank 1: quantity Blank 2: variance

Flexible

A budget that is prepared at the beginning of the period for a specific level of activity is called a______ budget

Planning

an unchanged planning budget is known as a(n) __ planning budget.

Static

The materials price variance is calculated using the Blank______ quantity of the input purchased.

actual

A price variance is the difference between the

actual price and the standard price multiplied by the actual amount of the input

When preparing a flexible budget, the level of activity

affects variable costs only

The materials price variance is the difference between the actual price of materials

and the standard price for materials with the difference multiplied by the actual quantity of materials

A revenue variance is the

difference between the actual total revenue and what the total revenue should have been, given the actual level of activity for the period

(Actual cost per unit - standard cost per unit) × actual quantity = the materials variance
