3. Thompson sold 3,000 sets in 2017, and its actual operating income was as follows:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report through operating income for 2017. Show product costs separately from selling and administrative costs. To simplify the calculations due to sets in beginning inventory having a different cost than those produced and sold in 2017, assume the following product costs:

4. What was the effect on Thompson’s operating income of selling 400 sets more than the static budget level of sales?
5. What is Thompson’s static budget variance for operating income?
6. Explain why the flexible budget performance report provides more useful information to Thompson’s managers than the static budget performance report. What insights cam Thompson’s managers draw form this performance report?
7. During 2017, Thompson recorded the following cost data:

Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct material and direct labor.
