CHANGES NEED TO BE MAD TO TABLE
Term #8 - Reword as:
Fixed cost volume variance
Item B to:
Difference between applied fixed cost based on actual volume and the budgeted fixed cost based on planned volume
Since the term "economies of scale" is not in the chapter:
Remove item E
Remove term #1
Reletter and renumber remaining items and terms.
