Kenji was closing up shop for the season and for the fiscal year-end, as well. Managers had carefully evaluated the company's performance, comparing the actual results to budget. They even dug a little deeper into the flexible budget variances to determine the respective price and efficiency (or volume) variances. The following shows the framework used to determine these variances- although you'll notice that they neglected to label the differences. DM DL Variable-MOH Fixed-MOH Actual Cost Price variance $66,250 86,700 40,100 Efficiency variance $52,000 Unnamed Column $67,400 DM 84,120 Actual Cost Master Budget Applied Fixed-MOH $50,000 $1,150 Favorable $1,600 Unfavorable 41,680 Flexible Budget $65,800 Were any of the individual variances significant? (Assume that the company defines significant as reflecting at least 5% of the flexible budget cost for that resource.) Were the total combined variances a significant portion of Kenji's COGS balance? 82,900 43,400 DL $51,500 $2,580 Unfavorable $1,220 Unfavorable Variable-MOH $1,580 Favorable $1,720 Favorable
