A company makes fudge in a batch process, i$.$e$.$ they prepare, mix and cook the ingredients in small batches, followed by a thorough cleanup of the equipment after each batch. For the month of September, the facts are as follows:

budgeted production in pounds: $20000$

budgeted # of batches: $160$

budgeted batch setup and cleanup costs expected to total: $$8800$

actual production in pounds: $24000$

actual # of batches: $200$

actual batch setup and cleanup costs totaled: $$15000$

From the above information, it can be said for the month of September...

Compared to budget.... the company decreased its batch size, but fortunately each batch cost less money for setup$/$cleanup

Compared to budget.... the company used too many batches for the actual volume produced, and each batch cost too much money for setup$/$cleanup

Compared to budget $q,$ the company used too many batches for the actual volume produced, and they saved on setup$/$cleanup costs

Compared to budget $q,$ the company increased its individual batch size, but unfortunately each batch cost too much money for setup$/$cleanup
