Bryant

Company's budgeted prices for direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and direct marketing (distribution) labor per attaché case are

$39,

$6,

and

$11,

respectively. The president is pleased with the following performance report:

(Click

Actual output was

10,000

attaché cases. Assume all three direct-cost items above are variable costs.

Requirement

Is the president's pleasure justified? Prepare a revised performance report that uses a flexible budget and a static budget.

Prepare a revised performance report that uses a flexible budget and a static budget. Begin with the actual results, then complete the flexible budget columns and the static budget columns. Label each variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (For variances with a $0 balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate field. If the variance is zero, do not select a label.)
