1. Static Bud. Var. for Op. Inc. $20,800 F
Small Talk Technologies manufactures capacitors for cellular base stations and other communications
applications. The company’s July 2016 flexible budget shows output levels of 7,500, 9,000, and 11,000
units. The static budget was based on expected sales of 9,000 units.
The company sold 11,000 units during July, and its actual operating income was as follows:
Requirements
1. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for July.
2. What was the effect on Small Talk’s operating income of selling 2,000 units more than the static
budget level of sales?
3. What is Small Talk’s static budget variance for operating income?
4. Explain why the flexible budget performance report provides more useful information to Small
Talk’s managers than the simple static budget variance. What insights can Small Talk’s managers
draw from this performance report?

Requirement 4
The static budget is prepared for only one level of sales volume—the 9,000 units expected to be sold—
and it doesn’t change after it is developed. The $20,800 favorable static budget variance is the difference
between actual operating income ($57,800), based on 11,000 units actually sold, and the expected
operating income ($37,000) in the static budget, based on 9,000 units expected to be sold. The flexible
budget performance report (Requirement 1) provides more useful information than the simple static
budget variance because it separates the $20,800 favorable static budget variance into its components:
the $800 favorable flexible budget variance and the $20,000 favorable sales volume variance.
The overall $800 favorable flexible budget variance is the difference between actual operating income
($57,800) for the 11,000 units actually sold and expected operating income ($57,000) in the flexible
budget for the 11,000 units actually sold. Because the $7,000 favorable flexible budget variance for sales
revenue was $800 greater than the sum of the unfavorable flexible budget variances for variable
expenses ($5,200) and fixed expenses ($1,000), the overall flexible budget variance (for operating
income) was $800 favorable. The individual flexible budget variances arise because actual sales price
per unit, variable expense per unit, and fixed expenses were different from those expected for the 11,000
units actually sold.
• The $7,000 favorable flexible budget variance for sales revenue was favorable because the

The $1,260 favorable direct materials cost variance indicates that Kyler’s managers did a good job
keeping actual direct materials cost per yard within standard. The $8.70 actual cost per yard was less
than the $8.90 standard cost per yard.
The $1,800 favorable direct labor efficiency variance indicates that Kyler’s managers did a good job
keeping actual usage of direct labor hours within standard. The 9,850 total direct labor hours actually
used was less than the 10,050 total direct labor hours allowed to manufacture 1,005 recliners.
The $8,820 unfavorable variable overhead cost variance indicates that Kyler’s managers did not do a
good job keeping actual variable overhead cost per yard within standard. The $6.50 actual cost per yard
was greater than the $5.10 standard cost per yard (the standard variable overhead allocation rate per
yard).

The static budget is prepared for only one level of sales volume—the 9,000 units expected to be sold—

The primary reason for the favorable operating income results is that the 11,000 units actually sold was
more than the 9,000 units expected to be sold in the static budget. The overall $24,000 favorable sales
The overall $500 favorable flexible budget variance is the difference between actual operating income
($76,500) for the 11,000 units actually sold and expected operating income ($76,000) in the flexible
budget for the 11,000 units actually sold. Because the $7,000 favorable flexible budget variance for sales
revenue was $500 greater than the sum of the unfavorable flexible budget variances for variable
expenses ($5,000) and fixed expenses ($1,500), the overall flexible budget variance (for operating
income) was $500 favorable. The individual flexible budget variances arise because actual sales price
per unit, variable expense per unit, and fixed expenses were different from those expected for the 11,000
units actually sold.
• The $7,000 favorable flexible budget variance for sales revenue was favorable because the
$25.64 ($282,000 / 11,000 units, rounded) actual sales price per unit was higher than the $25 per
unit budgeted.
