Another analysis carried out by many businesses is a comparison between actual
results and budgeted figures. Owners and managers note differences between budgeted
and actual amounts and make adjustments where necessary. Most businesses and virtu-
ally all government entities use monthly and annual budgets to guide and monitor their
operations. Figure 19-4 illustrates a monthly and year-to-date budget comparison at the
end of June, the sixth month of the year.
To find the percent change, the budgeted amount is subtracted from the actual
amount and the difference is divided by the budgeted amount.
