Use the original budget assumptions for sales price, variable cost per unit, and fixed costs, assuming the relevant range stretches from 50,000 to 75,000 units. - 6. Using the flexible budget performance report you prepared for Requirement 5, answer the following questions:
- a. How much of the master budget variance (calculated in Requirement 4) for operating income is due to volume being higher than expected?
