P11.51B  

Prepare a flexible budget, budget report, and graph for manufacturing overhead.

(LO 2, 3) Finesse Company manufactures tablecloths. Sales have grown rapidly over the past two years. As a result, the president has installed a budgetary control system for 2020. The following data were used in developing the master manufacturing overhead budget for the ironing department. The budget is based on an activity index of direct labour hours.

Variable Costs

Rate per Direct Labour Hour

Annual Fixed Costs

Indirect labour

$0.50

Supervision

$45,000

Indirect materials

 0.75

Depreciation

20,000

Factory utilities

 0.45

Insurance

15,000

Factory repairs

 0.25

Rent

The company prepared the master overhead budget on the expectation that 600,000 direct labour hours would be worked during the year. In June, 48,000 direct labour hours were worked. At that level of activity, actual costs were as follows:

  • 1.Variable, per direct labour hour—indirect labour $0.53; indirect materials $0.70; factory utilities $0.47; and factory repairs $0.29.
  • 2.Fixed—same as budgeted.
