Answer to Problem 1DQ

Solution: A fixed Budget Performance Report shows the variances between actual and budgeted figures but it does not show the flexible budget variances.

Explanation of Solution

A fixed budget is prepared at an expected level of activity, but the actual level of activity may differ. A Fixed Budget Performance Report compares the actual results with fixed budget figures, that may be useful for managers to see the total variance, but it does not bifurcate the variance in Activity and flexible budget variance. To evaluate the actual variances flexible budget variance analysis is necessary for the management, which is not provided by the Fixed Budget Performance Report.

Conclusion

Hence, it can be concluded that a fixed Budget Performance Report shows the variances between actual and budgeted figures.
