It is a simple presentation and will help everyone develop a basic understanding of flexible budgets. The video was created by a third party. There are additional videos included with the Bing search as well.\u00a0<br \/>\nFlexible Budget Example<br \/>\nFlexible Budget Guidance:\u00a0For additional information regarding flexible budgets please review the following.<br \/>\nWhat is a flexible budget?<br \/>\nBased on the example, fixed expenses do not change with volume. Contrary, variable expenses change with volume.\u00a0With respect to the case study the same principles apply.\u00a0The only difference is that our variable expenses will change based on sales volume instead of machine hours.<br \/>\nExample:<br \/>\nSales Volume 2,800<br \/>\nFeed cost per animal\u00a02.75<br \/>\nTotal feed cost = 2,800*2.75=7,700<br \/>\nAdvertisement, Bedding and Specialty Food Expense:\u00a0Advertisement is a fixed expense at the 2,800 volume level (column F).\u00a0As a result, column F, row 22 is equal to -0-.\u00a0However, the expense is considered a mixed cost (fixed and variable) with the flexible budget (column H). Bedding and specialty food does not apply to the actual results (column F).\u00a0As a result, column F, rows 23 and 24 is equal to -0-.\u00a0For further clarification my suggestion is to read the instructions tab.<br \/>\nVariance and Variance Explanation:\u00a0A variance is the difference between two numbers.\u00a0From a budget perspective we compare actual business results to our budget.\u00a0Material deviations are analyzed to help us plan, in part, revenue project ( help with nursing paper writing from experts with MSN &#038; DNP degrees)ions, expense levels, cash flow, and to make informed business decisions.\u00a0<br \/>\nCalculate the variance for all items listed on the spreadsheet (i.e. sales, all variable and fixed expenses, contribution margin, net income, and the break even computation).<br \/>\nColumn J:\u00a0Enter the difference between actual results and the budget.<br \/>\nColumn L:\u00a0Explain the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assignment Content The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate and prepare a budget.\u00a0 Resources: Excel File.
