June’s ending finished goods is expected to be 155 units. The company’s variable overhead is $11.00 per unit produced and its fixed overhead is $11,500 per month.
Compute Becker's manufacturing overhead budget for May and June. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) May June Budgeted manufacturing overhead

Answer 1

Answer:

The budgeted variable overhead for May is $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June is $7,260

The budgeted fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month

Explanation:

First we have to determine how many tricycles does Becker Bikes expects to manufacture during May and June:

May:

beginning inventory May           180

expected sales May                   520

ending inventory May                 145

Becker is planning to manufacture 485 tricycles (= 520 + 145 -180)

June:

beginning inventory May           145

expected sales May                   650

ending inventory May                 155

Becker is planning to manufacture 660 tricycles (= 650 + 155 -145)

The budgeted variable overhead for May = 485 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June = 660 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $7,260

The fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month
