Characteristics of Flexible Budgets

Planning budgets
are prepared for
a single, planned
level of activity.

Performance evaluation is difficult when actual activity differs from the planned level of activity.

Hmm! Comparing
static planning budgets
with actual costs
is like comparing
apples and oranges.

Improve performance evaluation.

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

Show costs that should have been
incurred at the actual level of
activity, enabling “apples to apples”
cost comparisons.

Help managers control costs.

Let’s look at Larry’s Lawn Service.

10-*

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 on
mowing 500 lawns. Since all of the lawns are similar in size,
Larry felt that the number of lawns mowed in a month would
be 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

I don’t think I
can answer the
questions using
a static budget.

Actual activity is above
planned activity.

So, shouldn’t the variable
costs be higher if actual
activity is higher?

© 2017 by McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education

10-*

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 must
the budget to the
actual 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 remain
unchanged within the
relevant range.

Here we see a flexible budget performance report that shows both activity variances and revenue and spending variances. Note that the activity variances appear between the planning budget and the flexible budget and that the revenue and spending variances appear between the flexible budget and the actual results.

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.

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.

Helen (H) - Slide 36 Changed the learning objective to match LO-5 as presented in Habitat (Noreen 4e).

10-*

More than one cost
driver may be needed to
adequately explain all of
the costs in an organization.

The cost formulas used
to prepare a flexible
budget can be adjusted
to recognize multiple
cost drivers.

Because of the large unfavorable wages and salaries spending
variance, 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.
