Answer:
$3,515
Explanation:
The computation of the catering supplies is shown below:
= Catering supplies per month + per job cost × expected number of jobs + per meal cost × expected number of meals
= $350 + $89 × 21 jobs + $9 × 144 meals
= $350 + $1,869 + $1,296
= $3,515
Since the question is asking for planning budget so we considered the expected units in terms of jobs and meals
Cross elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness in the quantity demand of one good when a change in price takes place in another commodity or good. It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good by the percentage change in price of other good.
Therefore, in this case, cross elasticity of demand will be;
17%/-2% = - 8.5 (-2% because its a decrease)
Thus , the elasticity will be -8.5

Answer:
$76,000
Explanation:
If we are going to prepare a flexible budget we need to calculate how much Seaworthy should have spent in labor costs in order to produce 2,000 units:
labor cost = 2 hours per unit x $19 per hour x 2,000 units = $76,000
If we compare the flexible budget to Seaworthy's actual costs, we will find an unfavorable variance of $250,000 (=$326,000 - $76,000). Obviously something went wrong with Seaworthy's production.
