The Saint Lucia Blood Bank, a private charity partly supported by government grants, is located
on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. The blood bank has just finished its operations for
September, which was a very busy month due to a powerful hurricane that hit neighboring
islands causing many injuries. The hurricane largely bypassed Saint Lucia, but residents of Saint
Lucia willingly donated their blood to help people on other islands. As a consequence, the blood
bank collected and processed over 20% more blood than had been originally planned for the
month. A report prepared by a government official comparing actual costs to budgeted costs for
the blood bank appears below. Continued support from the government depends on the blood
bank's ability to demonstrate control over its costs. The managing director of the blood bank was
very unhappy with this report, claiming that his costs were higher than expected due to the
emergency on the neighboring islands. He also pointed out that the additional costs had been
fully covered by payments from grateful recipients on the other islands. The government official
who prepared the report countered that all of the figures had been submitted by the blood bank to
the government; he was just pointing out that actual costs were a lot higher than promised in the
budget. The following cost formulas were used to construct the planning budget: Required:
1.Complete the flexible budget performance report for September. (Indicate the effect of each
variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero
variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
