CHAPTER 11 Flexible Budgeting and the Management of Overhead and Support Activity Costs
ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
11-1 A static budget is based on only one level of activity. A flexible budget allows for several different levels of activity.
11-2 The advantage of a flexible budget is that it is responsive to changes in the activity level. It enables a comparison between actual costs incurred at the actual level of activity and the standard allowed costs that should have been incurred at the actual level of activity.
11-17 The control purpose of a standard-costing system is to provide benchmarks against which to compare actual costs. Then management by exception is used to follow up on significant variances and take corrective action. The product-costing purpose of the standard-costing system is to determine the cost of producing goods and services. Product costs are needed for a variety of purposes in both managerial and financial accounting.

1. Variable-overhead spending variance = actual variable overhead – (AH × SVR) = $607,500 – (60,750 × $9.00) = $60,750 U 2. Variable-overhead efficiency variance = SVR(AH – SH) = $9.00(60,750 – 54,000*) = $60,750 U *SH = 54,000 hrs. = 13,500 cases × 4 hours per case 3. Fixed-overhead budget variance = actual fixed overhead – budgeted fixed overhead = $183,000 – $180,000 = $3,000 U
4. Fixed-overhead volume variance = budgeted fixed overhead – applied fixed overhead = $180,000 – $162,000† = $18,000 (positive)**

EXERCISE 11-30 (10 MINUTES)
1. Flexible budgeted amounts, using activity-based flexible budget: a. Indirect material: $33,000 ($18,000 + $3,000 + $3,000 + $9,000)
b. Utilities: $6,000 ($4,500 + $1,500)
c. Inspection: $3,300
d. Test kitchen: $2,400
e. Material handling: $3,000
f. Total overhead cost: $64,800 ($45,000 + $7,800 + $2,400 + $3,000 + $6,600) 2. Variance for setup cost: a. Using the activity-based flexible budget: $1,000 F (actual cost minus flexible budget =
$3,500 – $4,500) b. Using the conventional flexible budget: $500 U (actual cost minus flexible budget =
$3,500 – $3,000)

PROBLEM 11-44 (40 MINUTES)
1. Susan Porter recommended that EduSoft use flexible budgeting in this situation because a flexible budget would allow Mark Fletcher to compare EduSoft's actual selling expenses (based on current month's actual activity) with budgeted selling expenses. In general, flexible budgets:
• Provide management with the tools to evaluate the effects of varying levels of activity on costs, revenues, and profits.
• Enable management to improve planning and decision making. • Improve the analysis of actual results.
