Materials management wages 34,040 Factory depreciation 19,270

Required:
Prepare a factory overhead cost budget, separating variable and fixed costs.

Answer 1

Fixed costs= $73,760

Variable cost= $159,430

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's separate the factory overhead costs:

Power and light 40,450

Factory insurance 23,560

Production supervisor wages 118,980

Production control wages 30,930

Factory depreciation 19,270

Now, the fixed and variable costs:

Fixed costs= Factory insurance 23,560 + Production control wages 30,930 + Factory depreciation 19,270

Fixed costs= $73,760

Variable cost= Power and light 40,450 + Production supervisor wages 118,980

Variable cost= $159,430
