Question

Jerry Jay is the CEO of Jerry's Jackets (JJ). In June, Jerry expects to produce and sell 3200 jackets, and he expects his June utilities cost to be $8,000 plus $0.70 per jacket. After the month ended, it was reported that 2930 jackets were sold in June and $10,190 was spent on utilities. What is the planning budget for utilities in June

Answer 1

Answer: $10240

Explanation:

Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the planning budget for the utilities in June will be calculated as:

= Fixed expenses + (Budgeted activity × Variable cost per unit)

where

Fixed expenses = $8000

Budgeted activity = 3200 jackets

Variable cost per unit = $0.70

Therefore, planning budget will be:

= $8,000 + (3,200 × $0.70)

= $8,000 + $2240

= $10240
