    Requirements

17. 1. Prepare Trolley’s operating budget and cash budget for 2019 by quarter. Required schedules and budgets include: sales budget, production budget, direct materials budget, direct labor budget, manufacturing overhead budget, cost of goods sold budget, selling and administrative expense budget, schedule of cash receipts, schedule of cash payments, and cash budget. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated based on direct labor hours.
18. 2. Prepare Trolley’s annual financial budget for 2019, including budgeted income statement and budgeted balance sheet.
19. 3. Trolley sold 7,000 sets in 2019, and its actual operating income was as follows:

 Prepare a flexible budget performance report through operating income for 2019. Show product costs separately from selling and administrative costs. To simplify the calculations due to sets in beginning inventory having a different cost than those produced and sold in 2019, assume the following product costs:

1. 4. What was the effect on Trolley’s operating income of selling 500 sets more than the static budget level of sales?
2. 5. What is Trolley’s static budget variance for operating income?
3. 6. Explain why the flexible budget performance report provides more useful information to Trolley’s managers than the static budget performance report. What insights can Trolley’s managers draw from this performance report?
4. 7. During 2019, Trolley recorded the following cost data:

Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor.

1. 8. For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume variances.
2. 9. Prepare the standard cost income statement for 2019.
