The department actually completed 10,600 hours of production. What is the appropriate total budget for the department, assuming it uses flexible budgeting? Round hourly rates to two decimal places. Round interim calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. a.$381,335 b.$377,606 c.$291,635 d.$287,800

Answer 1

the appropriate total budget should be $377,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the appropriate total budget should be given below:

Direct material ($151,000 ÷ 8,000 × 10,600) $200,075

direct labor ($125,000 ÷ 8,000 × 10,600) $165,625

fixed factory overhead $11,800

Total budget cost 377,500

Hence, the appropriate total budget should be $377,500
