This assignment involves analyzing a manufacturing budget for a bird feeder company. Students are provided with tables showing budgeted and actual sales and expenses for 2014. The data includes details on materials (cedar, plastic, indirect), labor, depreciation, utilities, maintenance, shipping, sales commissions, and office expenses. A second table presents the static budget and actual results for units sold, revenues, manufacturing costs (variable and fixed), and gross margin. Finally, tables detail standard and actual variable manufacturing costs, including standard and actual input quantities for direct materials and labor. Students will use this data to complete milestones one and two (not detailed in the provided text), likely involving variance analysis, budget preparation, and cost accounting principles.
