Bombe, Inc., produces the basic fillings used in many popular frozen desserts and treats-vanilla and chocolate ice creams, puddings, meringues, and fudge. Cascade uses standard costing and carries over no inventory from one month to the next. The ice-cream product group's results for June 2020 were as follows: (Click the icon to view the results.) Read the requirements. Requirements 1 and 2. Calculate the static-budget variance in units, revenues, variable manufacturing costs, and contribution margin. What percentage is each static-budget variance relative to its static-budget amount? Break down each static-budget variance into a flexible-budget variance and a sales-volume variance. Begin with the flexible budget columns, then enter in the sales volume variance and static budget variances. Finally, compute the static budget variance as a percentage of the static budget. Label each variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (For variances with a 50 balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate field. If the variance is zero, do not select a label. Round dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar and percentages to two decimal places, X.XX%.)

Unfortunately, variable manufacturing costs went up, too. The bottom line is that contribution margin declined by $49,000, which is less than 2% of the budgeted revenues of $2,893,800. Overall, Braun feels that the business is running fine. Requirements - X 1. Calculate the static-budget variance in units, revenues, variable manufacturing costs, and contribution margin.
