Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The flexible budget is adapting the standard costs to the actual quantity.

Fabricating Department:

Depreciation= $2,300

Standard hourly rate= 2,300/640= $3.594

The department completed 600 hours of production.

Actual budget:

Depreciation= 2,300

Direct labor= 3.594*600= 2,156.4

Total cost= $4,456.4

Grinding Department:

Property tax= $30,000

Standard hourly rate= 55,200/2,400= $23

The department completed 2,900 hours of production.

Actual budget:

Property tax= $30,000

Direct labor= 23*2,900= 66,700

Total cost= $96,700
