Question

Burruss Company developed a static budget at the beginning of the company's accounting period based on an expected volume of 8,000 units: Per unit Revenue $ 4.00 Variable costs 1.50 Contribution margin $ 2.50 Fixed costs 2.00 Net income $ 0.50 If actual production totals 10,000 units which is within the relevant range, the flexible budget would show fixed costs of:

Answer 1

Answer:

The flexible budget would show fixed costs of $16,000

Explanation:

Meaning of Fixed cost: The fixed cost is that cost which is not have any impact on production level. It means that if the production level is increase or decrease, the fixed cost remain constant.

In the question the following information is given ,

Expected volume - 8,000 units

Per unit Revenue -  $ 4.00

Variable costs [per unit - 1.50

Contribution margin per unit -  $ 2.50

Fixed costs per unit - 2.00

Net income per unit -  $ 0.50

Actual production - 10,000 units

For computing the fixed cost under flexible budget for actual production which produces 10,000 units. The fixed cost remain same.

So, For 8000 units, the fixed cost = Units × Fixed cost per unit

                                                        =  8000 units × 2.00

                                                        =$16,000

Hence, For 10,000 units, the fixed cost would be $16,000 as fixed cost remain same.

Thus, the flexible budget would show fixed costs of $16,000
