Flexible Budget for Various Levels of Production
Budgeted amounts for the year:
Materials | 2 leather strips @ $7.00 |
Labor | 1.5 hr. @ $18.00 |
VOH | 1.5 hr. @ $1.20 |
FOH | $6,800 |
Required:
1. Prepare a flexible budget for 3,500, 4,000, and 4,500 units.

2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Calculate the unit cost at 3,500, 4,000, and 4,500 units. (Note: Round unit costs to the nearest cent.)
Unit cost at 3,500 units $
Unit cost at 4,000 units $
Unit cost at 4,500 units $
What happens to unit cost as the number of units produced increases?
The cost per unit as the number of units produced increases because fixed cost is spread over a greater number of units.
In this question first we assume that for producing 1 unit we require :-
Material = 2 Leather Strips @ $7
Labour = 1.5 Hrs @ $18
VOH = 1.5 Hrs @ $1.20
FOH = $6,800
