Budgeted fixed costs total $300,000 for the concert season; variable costs are expected to average $5 per patron. The orchestra uses flexible budgeting. Required: A. Prepare a flexible budget that shows the expected costs of 8,000, 8,500, and 9,000 patrons. B. Construct the orchestra's flexible budget formula. C. Assume that 8,700 patrons attended concerts during the year just ended, and actual costs were: variable, $42,000; fixed, $307,500. Evaluate the orchestra's financial performance by computing variances for variable costs and fixed costs. | Answer: Solution : A. Patrons 8,000 8,500 9,000 Variable cost at $ 5 $ 40,000 $.42,500.$.45,000 Fixed costs 300,000 300,000 300,000 Total $ 340,000 342,500 345,000 B. Total budgeted cost = ( number of patrons x$5)+$300,000 C. Budget * Actual Variance Variable cost $ 43,5008 42,000.8.1,500.F Fixed cost performance was not that bad , however , as the variances ( individually and in total ) are small in both dollar - and percentage - terms performance was not that bad , however , as the variances ( individually and in total ) are small in both dollar - and percentage - terms .
