"When the boss called me in, I thought he was going to give me a pat on the back because I know for a fact that my department worked more efficiently last month th an it has ever worked before. Instead, he tore me apart I thought for a minute that it might be over the supplies that were stolen out of our warehouse last month. But they only amounted to a couple of hundred dollars, and just look at this report Everything is unfavorable. Direct labor wages and supplies are variable costs, supervision and depreciation are fixed costs; and maintenance and utilities are mixed costs. The fixed component of the budgeted maintenance cost is $13,700, the fixed component of the budgeted utilities cost is $13,200 Required 2. Complete the performance report that will help Mr. Weston's superiors assess how well costs were controlled in the machining department. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
