The St. Lucia Blood Bank, a private charity partly supported bygovernment grants, is located on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.The blood bank has just finished its operations for September,which was a particularly busy month due to a powerful hurricanethat hit neighboring islands causing many injuries. The hurricanelargely bypassed St. Lucia, but residents of St. Lucia willinglydonated their blood to help people on other islands. As aconsequence, the blood bank collected and processed over 20% moreblood than had been originally planned for the month.A report prepared by a government official comparing actualcosts to budgeted costs for the blood bank appears below. Continuedsupport from the government depends on the blood bank’s ability todemonstrate control over its costs.St. Lucia Blood BankCost Control ReportFor the Month Ended September 30Actual ResultsPlanning BudgetVariancesLiters of blood collected880700Medical supplies$10,311$8,155$2,156ULab tests12,22310,0452,178UEquipment depreciation2,1001,900200URent1,6001,6000Utilities33831028UAdministration14,05513,890165UTotal expense$40,627$35,900$4,727UThe managing director of the blood bank was very unhappy withthis report, claiming that his costs were higher than expected dueto the emergency on the neighboring islands.
