Assume the company's threshold for determining the materiality of each variance is 5% of its flexible budget cost. Calculate
the significance level of each DM variance in comparison to the DM flexible budget cost. Calculate the significance level of
each DL variance in comparison to the DL flexible budget cost. Compare each variance's significance level to the company's
threshold of 5%. Which of these variances (if any) are concerning (i.e., material) to the company? (Round answers to 2
decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)
