Explanation of Solution

Flexible Budget: A flexible budget is a budget that is prepared for different levels of the output. In other words, it is a budget that adjusts according to the changes in the volume of the activity. The main purpose of preparing flexible budget is to determine the differences among standard and actual result.

Income statement: The financial statement which reports revenues and expenses from business operations and the result of those operations as net income or net loss for a particular time period is referred to as income statement.

Prepare flexible budget income statements with production volume of 29,000 and 31,000:

Explanation of Solution

Variance: Variance refers to the difference level in the actual cost incurred and standard cost. The total cost variance is subdivided into separate cost variances; this cost variance indicates that the amount of variance that is attributable to specific casual factors.

Sales volume variance: Sales volume variance is the measure of change in profit due to the difference between the budgeted quantity of units sold and the actual quantity of units sold. It reflects the deviation between the actual quantity of the units sold and the budgeted quantity of units sold.

Compute the variable and sales cost volume variance with volume of 31,000 units:

Explanation of Solution

Variance: Variance refers to the difference level in the actual cost incurred and standard cost. The total cost variance is subdivided into separate cost variances; this cost variance indicates that the amount of variance that is attributable to specific casual factors.

The sales and volume variances assist the managers to evaluate the changes in the sales volume that affect the costs and revenues. Since, the flexible budget is computed at the standard costs and prices, so the variance might not provide insights into the differences between the actual cost and prices and standard cost and prices.
