Exercise 21-4 Preparation of a flexible budget performance report L.O. P1

Daytec Company’s fixed budget performance report for June follows. The $440,000 budgeted expenses include $300,000 variable expenses and $140,000 fixed expenses. Actual expenses include $130,000 fixed expenses.

Prepare a flexible budget performance report showing any variances between budgeted and actual results. List fixed and variable expenses separately. (Input all amounts as a positive value. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting “F” for favorable, “U” for unfavorable, and “None” for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Leave no cells blank – be certain to enter “0” wherever required. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)
