Static budget shows the expected results of a responsibility center for only one activity level (no adjustments)

Identify the relevant activity levels. The relevant levels of activity can be expressed in units, machine hrs, DL hrs, or some other activity base.
Identify the fixed and variable cost components of the cost being budgeted.
Prepare the budget for each activity level by multiplying the variable cost per unit by the activity level and then adding the monthly fixed cost.
Sales budget begins by estimating the quantity of sales.
Production budget estimates the # of units to be manufactured to meet budgeted sales and desired inventory
Expected units to be sold xxxunits
Plus desired units in EI +xxx
Less est. units in BI -xxx
Total units to be produced XXXunits

DM Purchases budget estimates the quantities of DM to be purchased to support budgeted production and desired inventory levels. Materials req. for production xxx Plus desired ending materials inv +xxx
Less estimated beginning materials inv -xxx DM to be purchased XXX

How much a product should cost (std)
How much does it cost(actual)
Budget performance Report report that summarizes actuals cost, std cost, and the difference fot the units produced. XL jeans produced and sold 5000 pairs Actual cost incurred in June: DM $40150 DL 38500 FO 22400 Total Cost incurred 101050
Cost variance differenced between actual and std cost.
Favorable cost occurs when actual cost is less than std cost. ACSC
