The Assembling Department manager is pleased with the report and expects a raise, or at least praise for a job well done. The company president, however, is unhappy with the results for August because only 59,000 units were produced in September, 65,000 units were produced. Prepare the budget report using exible budget data, assuming (1) each variable cost was 10% higher than its actual cost in August, and (2) fixed costs were the same in September as in August (List variable costs before wed costs.)
