Total variance: 200 adv.
2. Identify the problems and sugngnest solutions: Bobby has spent more money then he predieted on
materials, wagnes and utilities. Bobby used more money on materials, however this is not a problem
as he produeed extra tables for speeial order. Also, Bobby used more money for wagnes and this is a
problem as he needed a temporary worker to eover siek worker. The solution eould be askingn
existingn workers to work overtime (not paid, but gnet time of in lieu). Utilities had some problems s
well, as it was extremely eold in January. However, Bobby eould have asked their employees to wear
extra jumper. All this eosts ean be slimly deereased my fndingn solutions.
3. Break even: Defne break-even in a singnle sentenee. Break – even is the point at whieh total eosts
equal total revenue. This means the business is not makingn proft or loss.
