Question

Trini Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 8,100 direct labor-hours will be required in May. The variable overhead rate is $1.40 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,440 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,910. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The May cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:

Answer 1

$102,870

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of Total cash disbursements is shown below:-

Variable overhead = Direct labor budget × Variable overhead rate

= 8,100 × $1.40

= $11,340

Fixed expenses incurred in cash = Total fixed expenses - Depreciation

= $100,440 - $8,910

= $91,530

Total cash disbursements = Total variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed cash overhead

= $91,530 + $11,340

= $102,870

Therefore for computing the Total cash disbursements we simply applied the above formula.
