Flexible budgeting case - activity versus spending variances
Due to global warming, demand for milk shares was much larger than expected. The amount of large milk shakes actually sold in January were 85,000 (10,000 over budget) while the amount of small milk shakes actually sold in January were 45,000 (5,000 under budget). The budgets prepared above were planned prior to the beginning of the year and are valid for the planned level of sales activity. If the actual level of sales activity differs from the planned level, comparing our budgets above with actual results may lead to incorrect conclusions about performance. Therefore we must prepare a FLEXBLE budget that adjusts revenues and expenses given the actual level of sales activity that occurred.
Please Fill in the Flexible budget based on actual sales for both size milk shakes.
Fill in the activity variance and the spending variance amounts as well as indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable for both size milk shakes.
