ReelTime, Inc., distributes DVDs to movie retailers
Case 1.
ReelTime, Inc., distributes DVDs to movie retailers, including dot.coms. ReelTime’s top management meets monthly to evaluate the company’s performance. Controller Terri Lon prepared the following performance report for the meeting
Lon also revealed that the actual sale price of $20 per movie was equal to the budgeted sale price and that there were no changes in inventories for the month.
Management is disappointed by the operating income results. CEO Lyte Nesbitt exclaims, “How can actual operating income be roughly half the static budget amount when there are so many favorable variances?”
Required
1. Prepare a more informative performance report. Be sure to include a flexible budget for the actual number of DVDs bought and sold.
2. As a member of ReelTime’s management team, which variances would you want investigated? Why? 3. Nesbitt believes that many consumers are postponing purchases of new movies until after the introduction of a new format for recordable DVD players. In light of this information, how would you rate the company’s performance?
