Answer 1

	Actual Results	Flexible-Budget Variances		Flexible Budget	Sales-VolumeVariance		Static Budget
Units sold	28,000	28,000		28,000	0		27,500
Revenues (sales)	$308,000	(308,000 - 336,000) = $28,000	U	$336,000	(336,000 -330,000) = $6,000	F	$330,000
Variable costs	90,000	(90,000 - 84,000) = 6,000	U	84,000	(84,000 - 82,500) = 1,500	U	82,500
Contribution margin	218,000	(218,000 - 252,000) = 34,000	U	252,000	(252,000 - 247,500) = 4,500	F	247,500
Fixed costs	55,000	(55,000 - 58,000) = 3,000	F	58,000	(58,000 - 58,000) = 0		58,000
Operating income	$ 163,000	(163,000 - 194,000) = $31,000	U	$194,000	(194,000 - 189,500) = $5,500	F	$189,500
