The actual overhead costs incurred were: Required: Prepare a performance report for the period. In an attempt to improve budgeting, the controller for Meliore, Inc., has developed a flexible budget for overhead costs. Meliore, Inc., makes two types of products, the standard model and the deluxe model.
