Question

Gundy Company expects to produce 1,207,200 units of Product XX in 2017. Monthly production is expected to range from 75,600 to 117,600 units. Budgeted variable manufacturing costs per unit are direct materials $3, direct labor $7, and overhead $10. Budgeted fixed manufacturing costs per unit for depreciation are $4 and for supervision are $1. Prepare a flexible manufacturing budget for the relevant range value using 21,000 unit increments.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the flexible manufacturing budget is presented below:

Activity level

Finished units 75,600 96,600 117,600

(75,600 + 21,000)

Variable costs

Direct materials($3) $226,800 $289,800 $352,800

Direct labor ($7) $529,200 $676,200 $823,200

Overhead ($10) $756,000 $966,000 $1,176,000

Total variable costs $1,512000 $1,932,000 $2,352,000

Fixed costs

Depreciation [($4 × 1,207,200) ÷ 12] $402,400 $402,400 $402,400

Supervision [($1 × 1,207,200) ÷ 12] $100,600 $100,600 $100,600

Total fixed costs $503,000 $503,000 $503,000

Total costs $2,015,000 $2,435,000 $2,855,000

We simply added the total variable and total fixed cost so that the total cost could come and the same is shown above
