$225,000×$9= $2,025,000(Master budget)

$230,000×$9=$2,070,000( Flexible budget)

$2,070,000-$2,025,000=$45,000 Sales Activities Variance

Variable cost

$225,000×$3.75= $843,750 (Master budget)

$230,000×$3.75= $862,500(Flexible budget)

$862,500-$843,750=$18,750 Sales Variance

Answer:

The operating profit under actual budget gives $833,000 while flexible budget gives $982,500 which results in an unfavorable variance of $149,500

Explanation:

In computing the final variance  I started with sales revenue for the actual production and sales of 230,000 under both actual and flexed budgets.

This approach implies that the original budget was revised to reflect actual quantity produced and sold but the budgeted amounts  were used under flexed budget  while the actual amounts were applied under the actual budget preparation.

muminat

Answer:

Option (e) is correct.

Explanation:

Taxable Income:

= Net income per book - municipal bond interest + deduction for business meals + deduction for a net capital loss + deduction for federal income taxes

= $100,000 - $4,000 + 50% of $5,000 + $5,000 + $22,000

Eliot Corp.'s current earnings and profits (Current E&P) for 2014:

= Taxable Income + municipal bond interest - deduction for federal income taxes - deduction for a net capital loss

= $125,500 + $4,000 - $22,000 - $5,000

= $102,500
