Question

Glaston Company manufactures a single product using a JIT inventory system. The production budget indicates that the number of units expected to be produced are 192,000 in October, 200,500 in November, and 197,000 in December. Glaston assigns variable overhead at a rate of $0.70 per unit of production. Fixed overhead equals $149,000 per month. Compute the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for month of October.

Answer 1

Budgeted overhead= $283,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

October= 192,000

variable overhead is applied at a rate of $0.70 per unit of production.

Fixed overhead equals $149,000 per month.

To calculate the budgeted overhead, we need to determine the total variable overhead for the month:

Budgeted overhead= fixed overhead + total variable overhead

Budgeted overhead= 149,000 + 0.7*192,000

Budgeted overhead= $283,400
