Megan: Cam, it looks like I'm going to spend much less than indicated onmy July budget.Cam: I'm glad to hear it.
Megan: Well. I'm not so sure it's good news. I'm concerned that thepresident will see that I'm under budget and reduce my budget in thefuture. The only reason I look good is because we delayed an advertising

Drew Castello, general manager of Sunflower Manufacturing, was frustrated. He
wanted the budgeted results, and his staff was not getting them to him fast enough.
Drew decided to pay a visit to the accounting office, where Jeff Hollingsworth was

"What's taking so long?" Drew asked. "When am I going to get the variance
reports?" Jeff sighed and attempted to explain the problem. "Some of the variances

an error in the spreadsheet. I want to recheck the spreadsheet before I distribute the
report." Drew pulled up a chair, and the two men went through the spreadsheet
