1. Flexible budget. The Chief Nurse Executive of a hospital is interested in making a quick assessment about performance for the year. The nursing department budget for the year was $10 million and actual expenses were $14 million. However, department fixed costs were budgeted at $4 million. The hospital expected to have 1000 admissions. The hospital actually had 1300 admissions.

Actual Budget Variance
$22,815 $17,250 $5,565 U
Budgeted visits = 1,250
Actual visits = 1,500
Budgeted nurse hours per visit = 0.60
Actual nurse hours per visit = 0.65
Budgeted nurse pay rate = $23.00/hour
Actual nurse pay rate = $23.40/hour
Calculate the price, quantity, and volume variances. Hint: They should add up to the total variance of $5,565.
