Assume the following information for the Assembly Department: Direct labor per filing cabinet 18 minutes Supervisor salaries $250,000 per month Depreciation $18,500 per month Direct labor rate $28 per hour Prepare a flexible budget for 70,000, 80,000, and 90,000 filing cabinets for the month ending February 28 in the Assembly Department, similar to Exhibit 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Direct labor per filing cabinet=  18/60= 0.3

Direct labor rate $28 per hour

The supervisor salary and depreciation will remain constant, we will not take them into account.

70,000 units:

Direct labor hours= (0.3*70,000)= 21,000

Direct labor cost= 21,000*28= $588,000

80,000 units:

Direct labor hours= (0.3*80,000)= 24,000

Direct labor cost= 24,000*28= $672,000

90,000 units:

Direct labor hours= (0.3*90,000)= 27,000

Direct labor cost= 27,000*28= $756,000
