Static Budgets and Performance Reports
Static budgetsare prepared fora single, plannedlevel of activity.
Performance evaluation is difficult when actual activity
differs from the planned level of
activity.
Hmm! Comparingstatic budgets withactual costs is likecomparing apples
and oranges.

Flexible Budgets
Improve performance evaluation.
May be prepared for any activity level in the relevant range.
Show costs that should have beenincurred at the actual level ofactivity, enabling “apples to apples”cost comparisons.
Reveal variances related tocost control.
Let’s look at CheeseCo.

I don’t think Ican answer thequestion usinga static budget.
Actual activity is belowbudgeted activity.
So, shouldn’t variable costsbe lower if actual activity
is lower?

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

ColaCo’s actual production for the period required 3,200 standard machine hours. Actual variable overhead incurred for the period was $6,740. Actual machine hours worked were 3,300. The
standard variable overhead cost per machine hour is $2.00.
Compute the variable overhead spending variance
first using actual hours. Then use standard hours allowed to calculate the variable overhead
efficiency variance.

The predetermined overhead ratecan be broken down into fixed
and variable components.
The variablecomponent is useful
for preparing and analyzingvariable overhead
variances.
The fixedcomponent is useful

Normal versus Standard Cost Systems
In a normal costsystem, overhead isapplied to work inprocess based onthe actual numberof hours worked
in the period.
In a standard costsystem, overhead isapplied to work inprocess based onthe standard hours
allowed for the outputof the period.

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