Performance Report Characteristics BudgetAmount ActualAmount – = Activity Variance Explanation • Favorable • Actual revenues > Budget revenues • Actual costs < Budget costs • Unfavorable • Actual revenues < Budget revenues • Actual costs > Budget costs
A cost variance is the amount by which actualamount differs from the budget amount. BudgetAmount This variance isunfavorablebecause the actual costexceeds the budget cost. Performance Report Characteristics Product Cost
Performance Report Characteristics Responsibility ReportingAmount of detail varies according to level in organization. A store manager receives summarized information from each department. A department manager receives detailed reports.
Performance Report Characteristics Responsibility ReportingAmount of detail varies according to level in organization. Management by exception: Upper-level management does not receive operating detail unless activities are not performing according to plan. The vice president of operations receives summarized information from each store.
The Flexible Budget Show revenues and expensesthat should have occurred at theactual activity. May be prepared for any activity level in the relevant range. Reveal variances due to good cost control or lack of cost control. Improve performance evaluation.
The Flexible Budget To a budget for different activity levels, we must know how costs behave with changes in activity levels. • Total variable costs changein direct proportion to changes in activity. • Total fixed costsremain unchangedwithin the relevantrange. Variable Fixed
First, let’s compareactual results withthe original budget. The Flexible Budget
Cost variances have little meaning since actual costsare at a different activity than the budgeted activity. The Flexible Budget
Now, let’s compareactual results witha flexed budgetprepared at theactual levelof activity. The Flexible Budget
The Flexible Budget A flexible budget is prepared for thesame activity level as actually achieved. Note: There is no flexin the fixed costs.
The Flexible Budget Variable costs have unfavorable variances because actual costs are more than the flexible budget costs.
