Flexible Budgets and
Overhead Analysis
11-2
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:
1. Prepare a flexible budget and explain the
advantages of the flexible budget approach
over the static budget approach.
2. Prepare a performance report for both variable
and fixed overhead costs using the flexible
budget approach.
3. Use the flexible budget to prepare a variable
overhead performance report containing only
a spending variance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:
4. Use the flexible budget to prepare a variable
overhead performance report containing both a
spending and an efficiency variance.
5. Explain the significance of the denominator
activity figure in determining the standard cost
of a unit of product.
6. Apply overhead cost to units of product in a
standard cost system.
7. Compute and interpret the fixed overhead
budget and volume variances.
Flexible Budgets
Show revenues and expenses
that should have occurred at the
actual level of activity.
