Answer 1

Requirement 1)
	(A)	(B)	(C )		(D )=(C )/(B)
Subunit X	Actual Result	Flexible Budget	Flexible Budget Variance(F )/(U)		% of variance (F )/(U)
Direct Material	$           28,900.00	$             26,800.00	$                                                2,100.00	(U)	7.84%
Direct Labor	$           13,900.00	$             14,600.00	$                                                   700.00	(F)	4.79%
Indirect Labor	$           26,000.00	$             22,900.00	$                                                3,100.00	(U)	13.54%

Repair & Maintenance	$             4,700.00	$               5,700.00	$                                                1,000.00	(F)	17.54%
	$       1,12,500.00	$         1,08,200.00	$                                                4,300.00	(U)	3.97%
Requirement 2)
This performance report includes only cost data ,therfore Subunit is a cost centre.
Requirement 3)
Management first investigate all unfavorable variances.
1) Indirect Labor
2) Direct Material
3) Utilities
Requirement 4)
No,Favorable variance should be investigated.
