Question

Cybernet Systems is a​ start-up company that makes connectors for​ high-speed Internet connections. The company has budgeted variable costs of $150 for each connector and fixed costs of $ 5,500 per month. Cybernet ​'s static budget predicted production and sales of 100 connectors in​ August, but the company actually produced and sold only 77 connectors at a total cost of $ 28,000. Cybernet Systems flexible budget variance for total costs is:_________

Answer 1

$10,950 Unfavorable

Explanation:

For computation of flexible budget variance for total costs first we need to find out the standard cost which is shown below:-

Standard cost = (Sold connectors × budgeted variable costs) + Fixed costs per month

= (77 × $150) + $5,500

= $11,550 + $5,500

= $17,050

Flexible budget variance for total costs = Actual cost - Standard cost

= $28,000 - $17,050

= $10,950 Unfavorable
