Indicate in each case whether the variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i. e., zero variance).

    consumers served budget 35,000

    consumers served actual 30,000

    budgeted revenue per consumer served = $3.90

    wages = $35,100 fixed + $1.30 per consumer served

    supplies = $0.60 per consumer served

    insurance = $9,300

    miscellaneous expenses = $7,400 + $0.30 per consumer served

    Activity variances:

    Actual Budgeted Variance

    Revenue $117,000 $136,500 $19,500 UF

    Wages $74,100 $80,600 $6,500 F

    Supplies $18,000 $21,000 $3.000 F

    Insurance $9,300 $9,300 no variation

    Miscellaneous $16,400 $17,900 $1,500 F
