Connolly Enterprises manufactures tires for the Formula 1 motor racing circuit. For August 2017 , it budgeted to manufacture and sell 3 comma 100 tires at a variable cost of $ 73 per tire and total fixed costs of $ 53,500 . The budgeted selling price was $116 per tire. Actual results in August 2017 were 3,000 tires manufactured and sold at a selling price of $ 119 per tire. The actual total variable costs were $240,000 , and the actual total fixed costs were $ 50,500. Requirement 1. Prepare a performance report that uses a flexible budget and a static budget. Begin with the actual results, then complete the flexible budget columns and the static budget columns. Label each variance as favorable or unfavorable. (For variances with a $0 balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate field. If the variance is zero, do not select a label.) Actual Results Units sold Revenues Variable costs Contribution margin Fixed costs Operating income Flexible-Budget Flexible Variances Budget Sales-Volume Static Variances Budget
Requirement 2. Comment on the results in requirement 1.
The total static-budget variance in operating income is $ There is a(n) total flexible-budget variance and a(n) sales-volume variance. The sales-volume variance arises solely because actual units manufactured and sold were than the budgeted 3,100 units. The flexible-budget variance in operating income is due primarily to the in unit variable costs. Choose from any list or enter any number in the input fields and then continue to the next question.
