A static budget, based upon production of 10,000 units, showed
an estimated direct labor budget of $30,000 and depreciation budget
of $20,000. Direct labor costs are fully variable. The actual
direct labor and depreciation costs were $28,000 and $19,000 for
8,000 units.
Which total amount should be shown in the flexible budget for
direct labor and depreciation costs?
Flexible Budget Cost for Direct Labor =($30000 /10000 units) x 8000 actual units = $ 24,000
Flexible Budget Cost for Depreciation = Fixed cost = Same as Budgeted = $ 20,000
Total Flexible Budget cost = 24000 + 20000 = $ 44,000
