As a result of this budget report, Joe was called into the president's office and congratulated on his fine sales performance. He was reprimanded, however, for allowing his costs to get out of control. Joe knew something was wrong with the performance report that he had been given. However, he was not sure what to do, and comes to you for advice.

Prepare a budget report based on flexible budget data to help Joe. (List variable costs before fixed costs. Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter 0 for amounts.)

Total  Expenses     $13,900    $12,600         $1,300          Favorable

Explanation:

a) Budgeted Variable Costs were flexed as follows:

i) Sales Commission = $1,872/7,800 x 10,000 = $2,400

ii) Advertising Expenses = $936/7,800 x 10,000 = $1,200

iii) Travel Expense = $3,120/7,800 x 10,000 = $4,000

iv) Free Samples = $1,794/7,800 x 10,000 = $2,300

b) The fixed costs could not be flexed as they remain invariable no matter the activity level.

c) Flexible budget is a budget that adjusts or flexes with changes in volume or activity.  It is a more accurate way of assessing performance because it is based on actual volume or activity level unlike a static budget, which remains unchanged.

scoray [572]

Answer:

$2,014

Explanation:

Alain's net investment income tax is the lesser of 1) his net investment income ($53,000) or 2) his modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 .

Therefore

$304,000 - $200,000 = $104,000

3.8%×$104,000= $3,952

($53,000 × 3.8% )= $2,014

The additional tax that alain will pay on his net investment income for the year is $2,014
