    Question 3:

    Master Budget:
    * Sales (units): 10,000
    * Direct materials cost: $50,000
    * Direct labor cost: $40,000
    * Fixed production overheads: $70,000

    * Sales (units): 9,000
    * Direct materials cost: $45,000
    * Direct labor cost: $36,000

    * Direct labor cost: $39,000
    * Fixed production overheads: $69,000
    * Total costs: $154,000

    For cost variance you compare the actual results with the flexed budget.
