Static Budgets and Performance Reports
Hmm! Comparingstatic budgets withactual costs is likecomparing apples
and oranges. Static budgets are prepared for a single,
planned level of activity.
Performance evaluation is difficult when actual activity
differs from the planned level of
activity.Let’s look at CheeseCo.

Since cost variances are favorable, havewe done a good job controlling costs?

Static Budgets and Performance Reports
I don’t think Ican answer thequestion usinga static budget.
Actual activity is belowbudgeted activity which
is unfavorable. So, shouldn’t variable costs
be lower if actual activityis lower?
![Page 8: Flexible Budgets and Overhead Analysis Chapter 7](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102802/5a4d1ad97f8b9ab0599742f7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The relevant question is . . .“How much of the favorable cost variance isdue to lower activity, and how much is due to good cost control?”
To answer the question,we mustthe budget to theactual level of activity.

Show revenues and expensesthat should have occurred at theactual level of activity.
Reveal variances due to good costcontrol or lack of cost control.

If you can tell me what your activity wasfor the period, I will tell you what your costs
and revenue should have been.

in direct proportion to changes in activity.

Fixed costs areexpressed as atotal amount.
Variable costs are expressed as a constant amount per hour.
$40,000 ÷ 10,000 hours is$4.00 per hour.

There are two primaryreasons for unfavorablevariable overhead variances:1. Spending too much for resources.2. Using the resources inefficiently.

Overhead Variances
Now let’s turn our attention
to fixed overhead.

ColaCo’s actual production required 3,200 standard machine hours. Actual fixed overhead
was $8,450.
Compute the fixed overhead budget and volume variances.

Overhead Variances and Under- or Overapplied Overhead Cost
The sum of the overhead variancesequals the under- or overapplied
overhead cost for a period.
Favorablevariances are equivalentto overapplied overhead.
Unfavorablevariances are equivalent
to underapplied overhead.
