An unexpected $10,000 increase in rent resulted in rent coming over budget by $10,000.
Rent was expected to amount to $50,000; however, actual costs amounted to $60,000, as directly imposed by corporate headquarters.
Recommendations
The budgeted amount for the next fiscal year's rent expense should be $60,000, which includes the current rent increase without any envisioning of another.
Supplies
Analysis
Budgeted expenses for supplies amounted to $18,000, 2% of total sales ($900,000 X.02). Actual expenses came to $14,000, $4,000 under budget (1.75% of sales). Supplies are purchased locally. This is a variable expense dependent upon sales.
Recommendations
The supply budget should still be 2% of total budgeted sales in order to compensate for cost increases in supplies.
In addition to the 2% of total sales, an additional $5,000 should be budgeted to fund the customer mailing list campaign to purchase envelopes, labels, and postage, and to pay for printing of coupons for direct and indirect mailing. More return customers mean more sales! The total supplies budget for next year should be $23,000 ($900,000 X.02 + $5,000).
Corporate Overhead
Recommendations
In order to account for this year's unknown overhead hike, the next year's budget should include the normal 10% rate ($900,000/90,000) + another $10,000. Since the next fiscal year's sales budget is $900,000 once again, the budgeted amount for corporate overhead should be $100,000 (10% of $900,000 + $10,000).
Recommendations for Pappadeaux Restuarants' system of accounting
In order to concentrate on long-term customer satisfaction, efforts need to be focused on quality in every aspect of the business. The following recommended annual budget presents a larger actual net income than this year's $32,000; however, it is more realistic than $102,000 for the location as it begins its second year of business in the San Diego area.

Pappadeaux The current accounting system at Pappadeaux is fundamentally flawed, and the result is distorted performance figures for managers. Appendix A contains the basic income statement that Harry is using to evaluate Gregory, with variance noted. However, Gregory should not be evaluated on matters that do not relate to his performance. A significant portion of the poor performance against the budget relates to elements of the budget that were out of
Restaurant Management Challenges involved in restaurant management Restaurants are businesses that offer foods and drinks to customers within the hospitality industry. There is a small distinction between restaurants and hotels in the hospitality industry. Few restaurants expand their business to offer other services that are usually for hotels such as accommodation services. A number of hotels also offer restaurant-related services.

San Gorgonio Wind Farm is one of three major wind farms that provide 95% of California's wind generating capacity (and 30% of the world's wind generating capacity). This amounts of 4258 million kilowatt hours of electricity, or 1.5% of the state's total electricity production (California Energy Commission, 2011). Wind energy is considered to be one of the 'clean' energy sources, as opposed to fossil fuel production and nuclear energy production
San Francisco Tire Industry The tire industry is among other vital industries that contribute an extensive amount of income to the global economy.

When the work was near completion a reporter came to the cite to interview Rivera and took many scenes from the work as examples of a dangerously revolutionary idea, despite Rivera's impassioned explanation and led the public to believe that Rivera had duped Rockefeller and the American people.
