Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the performance report comparing actual results to budgeted figures would show that net income was $2,660 over the budgeted amount if the actual net income was $70,000. This implies that the budgeted net income was calculated to be less than $70,000, and the actual performance exceeded this budgeted figure by $2,660.
