• Compute the sales volume variance and the variable cost volume variances based on a comparison between the master budget and the flexible budget.
• Compute flexible budget variances by comparing the flexible budget with the actual results.

Create a 6- to 8-slide presentation for the budget committee meeting showing your findings and recommendations from your computations. 

Complete the following in your presentation:

• Summarize the results of the sales volume and variable cost volume variances computations based on the comparison between the master budget and the flexible budget.
• Summarize the results of the flexible budget variances computations based on the comparison between the flexible budget and the actual results.
• Justify the favorable or unfavorable budget variances.
• Since this is a not-for-profit organization, address why anyone should be concerned with meeting the budget.
• Make recommendations for what can be done differently to stay on budget for future luncheons. Provide specific examples to support your recommendations.
• Include speaker notes
