Davidson Corporation produces a single product: fireproof safety deposit boxes for home use. The budget going into the current year anticipated a selling price of $63 per unit. Because of competitive pressures, the company had to cut selling prices by 10% during the year. Budgeted variable costs per unit are $40, and budgeted total fixed costs are $160,000 for the year. Anticipated sales volume for the year was 14,000 units. Actual sales volume was 5% less than budget. (1) What was the sales price variance for the year? (2) Label this variance F (favorable) or U (unfavorable), as appropriate. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Master Budget
A master budget can be defined as an estimation of the revenue earned or expenses incurred over a specified period of time in the future and it is generally prepared on a periodic basis which can be either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. It helps a business, an organization, or even an individual to manage the money effectively. A budget also helps in monitoring the performance of the people in the organization and helps in better decision-making.
Sales Budget and Selling
A budget is a financial plan designed by an undertaking for a definite period in future which acts as a major contributor towards enhancing the financial success of the business undertaking. The budget generally takes into account both current and future income and expenses.
