Flexible-Budget Variances and Sales-Volume
Variances
Exhibit 7-2 shows the flexible-budget-based variance analysis for Webb, which subdivides
the $93,100 unfavorable static-budget variance for operating income into two parts: a
flexible-budget variance of $29,100 U and a sales-volume variance of $64,000 U. The
sales-volume variance is the difference between a flexible-budget amount and the corresponding
static-budget amount. The flexible-budget variance is the difference between an
actual result and the corresponding flexible-budget amount.
