Question

Wember Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $700 per month plus $80 per job plus $10 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in September to be 21 jobs and 140 meals, but the actual activity was 17 jobs and 137 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in September was $3,230. The catering supplies in the planning budget for September would be closest to: Multiple Choice $3,930 3,780 3,230 3,430

Explanation / Answer

2) Supplies cost in planning budget = (700+80*21+10*140) = 3780

so answer is b) $3,780

3) Activity variance for supplies = Budgeted cost-flexible budget cost

= (625*10+1850) - (633*10+1850)

Activity variance for supplies = 80 U

so answer is c) $80 U
