Ellis budgeted sales of 700,000 vials for April. At the end of the month, the controller revealed that actual results for April had deviated from the budget in several ways:
- Unit sales and production were 90% of plan.
- Actual average selling price decreased to $8.20.
- Productivity dropped to 90 vials per hour.
- Actual direct manufacturing labor cost was $15.20 per hour.
- Actual total direct material cost per unit increased to $3.90.
- Actual sales commissions were $0.70 per vial.
- Fixed overhead costs were $110,000 above budget.
