Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Bumblebee Company estimates that 379,500 direct labor hours will be worked during the coming year, 2020, in the Packaging Department. On this basis, the following budgeted manufacturing overhead cost data are computed for the year.

Fixed Overhead Costs Variable Overhead Costs

Supervision $94,440 Indirect labor $174,570

Depreciation 73,320 Indirect materials 75,900

Insurance 25,560 Repairs 53,130

Rent 21,120 Utilities 94,875

Property taxes 20,880 Lubricants 37,950

$235,320 $436,425

It is estimated that direct labor hours worked each month will range from 24,900 to 36,900 hours.

During October, 24,900 direct labor hours were worked and the following overhead costs were incurred.

Fixed overhead costs: Supervision $7,870, Depreciation $6,110, Insurance $2,095, Rent $1,760, and Property taxes $1,740.

Variable overhead costs: Indirect labor $12,544, Indirect materials, $4,500, Repairs $3,406, Utilities $6,545, and Lubricants $2,740.

The objective is to prepare a monthly manufacturing overhead flexible budget for each increment of 4,000 direct labor hours over the relevant range for the year ending December 31, 2020. (List variable costs before fixed costs.)

The monthly manufacturing overhead flexible budget can be computed as

follows:
