Sunshine Foods manufactures pumpkin scones. For January 2017, it budgeted to purchase and use 14,750 pounds of pumpkin at $0.92 a pound. Actual purchases and usage for January 2017 were 16,000 pounds at $0.85 a pound. Sunshine budgeted for 59,000 pumpkin scones. Actual output was 59,200 pumpkin scones.1. Compute the flexible-budget variance.2. Compute the price and efficiency variances.3. Comment on the results for requirements 1 and 2 and provide a possible explanation for them

The explanation of the given scenario is described in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Selling Price, SP = $0.92

AP = $0.85

(1)...

To compute the flexible budget variance,

=  

=  

=

= $

(2)...

To compute the price and efficiency variances,

⇒                      

⇒                      

Now,

Efficiency variance = (SQ for actual output - AQ ) × SP

⇒                              =

⇒                              =

(3)...

The Price variance is the difference that further tends to mean that the material was bought at such a cheaper rate than assumed, but the efficiency variance does seem to be unfavorable, which tends to mean that the content has been used more than anticipated. Yet another possible explanation for that kind of variance could be lower prices contribute to better customer satisfaction,  

However, the overall variance seems to be $16 favorable, and therefore final figures could be said to satisfy the requirements.

the assumption the narrator makes in this excerpt is that the messages he heards were going to hurt the narrator's mom; the narrator just springs in to action. the narrator doesn't specify in this excerpt why he believes that the messages present a problem that requires protection.
