From the calculation of variances above it is clear that material,


electricity as well as maintenance variances positively affect profitability. In
contrast to these negative variances is demonstrated by cost of labor which
affects the profitability to a greater extent. The major reason for the
existence of above variances is related with reduction in the volume of
production as such it has reduced from 2000 units to 1900 units. Change in
material cost is as a reason of decline in the total production made by firm.
However the price of material remains constant in the budget. Negative
labor variance is 1000 which is resulted from higher labor rate of 10. Semi
variable cost includes electricity cost which remains constant at a limit of

500 and gets changes with the change in the volume of production. A
variance of 375 has been determined as result of decrease in the volume
up to 1900 units. It has been presented by the scenario that maintenance is
regarded as stepped cost which has increased by 1000 for production of
500 extra units. There is decrease in the actual cost which is up to 4800 as
such there is reduction in production by 1000 units. Thus there is greater
need for Jeffrey & Son to develop essential policies that can assist in
mitigating the calculated variances. In addition to this increase in labor cost

inclined total cost. It is important for the management to increase motivation


among labor so as to enhance their efficiency as well as productivity to a
greater extent.

and non-operating expenditure. It is seen that the expenditure is decreasing
on continuous basis. Nevertheless, the cash balance is decreasing due to

sales that the organization is unable to generate sufficient amount of cash
flow. Henceforth, the business unit should focus on increasing sales so as to
