    When analyzing variances a difference of ($2,500) represents a:

    • Positive Variance (We are under budget).

    • Negative Variance (We are over budget)

    • An unrecorded liability awaiting payment.

    • A potential source of concern that requires immediate attention.

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative Variance (We are over budget)
    Explanation
    A negative variance of ($2,500) indicates that the actual expenses exceeded the budgeted amount. This means that the organization spent more than it had planned, resulting in a deficit. It suggests that there was a deviation from the expected financial performance, which can be a cause for concern as it indicates potential financial difficulties. Immediate attention may be required to address the overspending and find ways to mitigate the negative variance in future budgets.

    • Request special seating for guests with special needs.

    Correct Answer

    • Sales forecasts

    • Cashier Totals

    • Corresponding guest checks

    • Storeroom Issue reports

    Correct Answer
    A. Corresponding guest checks
    Explanation
    F&B managers can identify differences between what food items were produced and what items were served during a specific meal period by matching requisition slips turned into the kitchen with corresponding guest checks. This is because the guest checks contain a detailed record of the items ordered by the guests. By comparing the requisition slips with the guest checks, the managers can ensure that all the items produced in the kitchen were actually served to the guests. This helps in maintaining accuracy in inventory management and avoiding discrepancies in food production and service.

    • Have the components of food cost changed?

    • Is the amount of variance great enough to warrant action?

    • Are the actual costs correct?

    • All of the above.

    • A, C, &D.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because when determining whether variances between budgeted variances and actual variances require attention, all the factors mentioned in the options need to be considered. Variances need to be understandable, meaning they should be able to be explained and analyzed. The components of food cost changing can also impact the variances and may require attention. The amount of variance should be significant enough to warrant action, as small variances may not be worth addressing. Lastly, it is important to ensure that the actual costs are correct in order to accurately assess the variances.

    The most accurate standards for evaluating results from operations are:

    • Industry averages

    • Past Financial statements

    • Operating Budgets (Past/Current)

    • In-House Standard Costs

    Correct Answer

These costs are based on the organization's own experience and expertise, taking into account factors such as labor, materials, and overhead costs. By comparing actual results to these standard costs, the organization can identify any variations or inefficiencies in its operations and take appropriate actions to improve performance.

It provides insights into the effectiveness of the organization's strategies and helps in identifying any deviations from the planned targets. This information is crucial for making informed decisions, setting future goals, and taking corrective actions if necessary.
