Predict cash-flows: Actually budget is more useful for those companies who are rapidly

already. Therefore, the actual outcomes and selling are further monitored by the management
and the budget for Twin River Cafe is as mention below:
From the above, it is analyzed that if there is a reduction in the value of sales, then it
creates direct impact upon the business performance and especially in expenses. Such that for

raw material the planned budget is 43200 but actual expenses are done 42720 that means
company got benefited with the same of 480 and this is consider as a favorable. While on the
other side, the revenue is planned or the July month is 81000 but the actual revenue is 80100 that
means Sky cafe bear a loss of 900 which is counted as adverse. In addition to this, wages and
salary are also a a variable aspect which are also counted as a favorable because firm get an
advantage of 60. on the other side, as per the calculation, there are expenses which are not
expected in correct manner and as a result, the total of expenses are numbered as 65630 instead
of 66740.
On the other side, the flexed budget is also counted as adverse and it is so because the
planned budget is 14820 but actually is 14470. therefore, 350 is consider as a variance and it is
actual difference between the planned budget and actual budget. Moreover, as per the operating
income which is 13360 and it is also seems to be adverse with an amount of 1460. thus, it is all

rent cost of location where cafe is established (Harrison and Lock, 2017). Through that, it
decreases profit margin and affect the budget because that is not a part of budget. Its
results that is affect and impact on the cost of rent. This should have been considered by
