Question

cost formula is expressed as follows: Y = $17PH + $760,000 where PH is defined as process hours. What budgeted dollar amount would appear in DT's static budget and flexible budget for the preceding cost formula?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $ 1,984,000 $ 2,112,000

Explanation:

Static budget is a budget that has been prepared for a standard level of output with no tendency to vary irrespective of the level of output.

Therefore, the figure that will appear in static budget  is as follows:

  Y = $16PH + $640,000 where PH is defined as process hours

PH  = 84,000  (Budgeted output)

  Y  = $16(84,000) + $640,000

  Y  = $1,344,000 + $640,000

  Y  = $1,984,000

That is the figure that will appear in the static budget is  $1,984,000

Flexible budget is a budget designed to vary with the level of actual activity.

Therefore the figure that will appear in the flexible budget  is as follows:

  Y = $16PH + $640,000 where PH is defined as process hours

PH  = 92,000   (Budgeted output)

  Y  = $16(92,000) + $640,000

  Y  = $1,472,000 + $640,000

  Y  = $2,112,000

That is the figure that will appear in the flexible budget is  $2,112,000
