Question

Cabinaire Inc. is one of the largest manufacturers of office furniture in the United States. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it assembles filing cabinets in an Assembly Department. Assume the following information for the Assembly Department:
Direct labor per filing cabinet 20 minutes
Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month
Depreciation $21,000 per month
Direct labor rate $15 per hour

Required:
Prepare a flexible budget for 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 filing cabinets for the month of March

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month

Depreciation $21,000 per month

Direct labor rate $15 per hour

Cabinets per hour= 60/20= 3

We need to determine the flexible budget for different production levels:

12,000 units:

Total direct labor hours= (12,000 / 3)= 4,000 hours

Total variable cost= 4,000*15= 60,000

Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00

Total cost= $198,000

15,000 units:

Total direct labor hours= (15,000 / 3)= 5,000 hours

Total variable cost= 5,000*15= 75,000

Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00

Total cost= $213,000

18,000 units:

Total direct labor hours= (18,000 / 3)= 6,000 hours

Total variable cost= 6,000*15= 90,000

Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00

Total cost= $228,000
