1. For example, in departmental income statements financial performances of departments can be compared with each other to see if a department is under performing or over performing and then make appropriate decisions accordingly.

2. By observing the past records on variable overhead cost managers can decide what would be the best overhead base and overhead raise for determination of a variable overhead.
