Brandy has been manager of the downtown branch of General Bank for several years. During this time ...

Brandy has been manager of the downtown branch of General Bank for several years. During this time she has received very good annual evaluations for her management of the branch. However, during the current year (it is now July) she has been upset with the monthly performance report generated by the budgeting department at the home office. Her branch has been making steady progress with controlled growth during the year and she knows of no reason why the report has such widely fluctuating variances. One item that she suspects is causing some of the problem is that most of the costs of the bank are fixed, with each branch getting an allocation of home office expenses each month. The bank also has some branches which are fast growing and some of which are having operating difficulties.
Required:From the information presented, what do you suggest as a possible cause of the reporting problems?
