Characteristics of Flexible Budgets

Planning budgetsare prepared fora single, plannedlevel of activity.

Performance evaluation is difficult when actual activity

differs from the planned level of

activity.

Hmm! Comparingstatic planning budgets

with actual costsis like comparing

apples and oranges.

Improve performance evaluation.

May be prepared for any activity level in the relevant range.

Show costs that should have beenincurred at the actual level ofactivity, enabling “apples to apples”cost comparisons.

Help managers control costs.

Let’s look at Larry’s Lawn Service.

Larry’s Lawn Service provides lawn care in a planned community where all lawns are approximately the same size.At the end of May, Larry prepared his June budget based onmowing 500 lawns. Since all of the lawns are similar in size,Larry felt that the number of lawns mowed in a month wouldbe the best way to measure overall activity for his business.

Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget

Larry’s Actual Results Compared with the Planning Budget

F = Favorable variance that occurs when actual costs are less than budgeted costs.

U = Unfavorable variance that occurs when actual costs are greater than budgeted costs.

F = Favorable variance that occurs when actual revenue is greater than budgeted revenue.

Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget

Larry’s Actual Results Compared with the Planning Budget

Since these variances are favorable, has Larry done a good job controlling costs?

Since these variances are unfavorable, has Larry done a poor job controlling costs?

I don’t think Ican answer thequestions usinga static budget.

Actual activity is above planned activity.

So, shouldn’t the variablecosts be higher if actual

activity is higher?

▪ The relevant question is . . .“How much of the cost variances are due to higher

activity and how much are due to cost control?”

▪ To answer the question,we mustthe budget to theactual level of activity.

How a Flexible Budget Works

To a budget, we need to know that:▫ Total variable costs change

in direct proportion to changes in activity.

▫ Total fixed costs remainunchanged within therelevant range.

Quick Check ✓ What should be the total wages and salaries

cost in a flexible budget for 600 lawns?a. $18,000b. $20,000.c. $23,000.d. $25,000.

Total wages and salaries cost

= $5,000 + ($30 per lawn × 600 lawns)

$5,000 + $18,000 = $23,000

What should the total wages and salaries cost be in a flexible budget for 600 lawns?a. $18,000.b. $20,000.c. $23,000.d. $25,000.

Activity Variances

Planning budget revenues

and expenses

Flexible budget revenues

and expenses

The differences between the budget amounts are called activity variances.

Performance Reports in Non-Profit Organizations

Non-profit organizations may receive funding from sources other than the sale of goods and services,

so revenues may consist of both fixed and variable elements.

Universities

Tuition and fees

DonationsState funding

Endowments

Performance Reports in Cost Centers

Performance reports are often prepared for cost centers. These reports should be

prepared using the same principles discussed so far, except for the fact that these reports will not contain revenue or

net operating income variances.

Learning Objective 5

Prepare a flexible budget with more than one cost

driver.

Page 36: Performance Analysis Flexible Budgets and · PDF fileFlexible Budgets and Performance Analysis Chapter 9. ... Characteristics of Flexible Budgets 9-3 Planning budgets are prepared

9-36

More than one cost driver may be needed toadequately explain all of

the costs in an organization.

The cost formulas usedto prepare a flexible

budget can be adjustedto recognize multiple

cost drivers.

Flexible Budgets with Multiple Cost Drivers

9-37

Because of the large unfavorable wages and salaries spendingvariance, Larry decided to add an additional cost driver for

wages and salaries. The variance is due primarily to the number of hours required for the additional edging and trimming. So

Larry estimates the additional hours and builds those hours into both his revenue and expense budget formulas.

Learning Objective 6

Understand common errors made in preparing

performance reports based on budgets and

actual results.

Page 40: Performance Analysis Flexible Budgets and · PDF fileFlexible Budgets and Performance Analysis Chapter 9. ... Characteristics of Flexible Budgets 9-3 Planning budgets are prepared

9-40

Some Common Errors

The most common errors when preparing performancereports are to implicitly assume that:1. All costs are fixed, or that;

2. All costs are variable.

Assume all costs are fixed.
