For Q1, you have to set these equations equal to each other because it is asking how much of x is necessary to make the same amount of y, so:

3995 + 225.50x = 6500 + 100.25x

solve for x:, and get x=20

so 20 tons of sugar will give the companies the same cost.

For Q2: you need to plug in x=20 into either one of the original equations, and solve for y because this will give you the cost of transportation, so:

y= 3995 + 225.50(20)

y=$8,505 for the total cost

A company has budgeted fixed overhead of $1.00 per hour at expected capacity of 5,000 units which has a standard quantity of 2 h
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$1,600 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Given that,

Budgeted fixed overhead = $1.00 per hour

Expected capacity = 5,000 units

Standard quantity = 2 hours per unit

Actual units produced = 5,200

Total overhead costs = $12,000

Controllable variance:

= Actual Overhead cost - Budgeted cost of actual production

= $12,000 - (Actual units produced × Budgeted fixed overhead × Standard quantity)

= $12,000 - (5,200 × $1 × 2)

= $12,000 - $10,400

= $1,600 Unfavorable
