Assignment: Using Performance Reports to Inform Organizational Decisions
Very often, managers are called upon to make decisions “by the numbers.” In this Assignment,
you will sort through a budget report from the fictitious Honey Bear Confections (HBC)
organization in order to make decisions about productivity levels.
HBC is a small organization dedicated to making bear-shaped sweets with honey as a sugar
substitute. You have just been promoted to a position as manager of the production department at
HBC when your supervisor shows you the following report. She tells you to “get it fixed.” You

For this Assignment, review the Static Budget Report provided. Additionally, you may find
valuable information in your course text, especially Exercise 6-3.
