Managers use the cost per lift for external financial reporting-specifically to calculate the ending inventory balances on the Balance Sheet. O B. Managers would compare the average cost per lift against their budgeted costs to determine whether the costs of the Testing Department remain under control. If budgeted costs are higher than the actual average cost per lift, then the managers have done a good job controlling costs. In contrast, if the budgeted costs are lower than the actual average cost per lift, managers will investigate the reason for the higher-than-expected costs in an effort to regain control over costs.
