Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month

Depreciation $21,000 per month

Direct labor rate $15 per hour

Cabinets per hour= 60/20= 3

We need to determine the flexible budget for different production levels:

12,000 units:

Total direct labor hours= (12,000 / 3)= 4,000 hours

Total variable cost= 4,000*15= 60,000

Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00

Total cost= $198,000

15,000 units:

Total direct labor hours= (15,000 / 3)= 5,000 hours

Total variable cost= 5,000*15= 75,000

Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00

Total cost= $213,000

18,000 units:

Total direct labor hours= (18,000 / 3)= 6,000 hours

Total variable cost= 6,000*15= 90,000

Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00

Total cost= $228,000
