Question
E24-10 (a,b) Rensing Company has two production departments, Fabricating and Assembling. At a department managers' meeting, the controller uses flexible budget graphs to explain total budgeted costs. Separate graphs based on direct labor hours are used for each department. The graphs show the following. At zero direct labor hours, the total budgeted cost line and the fixed cost line intersect the vertical axis at $40,000 in the Fabricating Department and $30,000 in the Assembling Department. At normal capacity of 50,000 direct labor hours, the line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $150,000 in the Fabricating Department, and $110,000 in the Assembling Department. State the total budgeted cost formula for each department. Fabricating department = $ fixed costs + total variable costs of $ per direct labor hour Assembling department = $ fixed costs + total variable costs of $ per direct labor hour Compute the total budgeted cost for each department, assuming actual direct labor hours worked were 53,000 and 47,000, in the Fabricating and Assembling Departments, respectively. Fabricating $ Assembling $Explanation / Answer
Fabricating
Variable cost per direct labor hours = (150000 - 40000)/50000 = $2.20
Fabricating department = $40000 + $2.20 x direct labor hour
Total budgeted cost = 40000 + 2.2 x 53000 = $156600
Assembling
Variable cost per direct labor hours = (110000 - 30000)/50000 = $1.60
Fabricating department = $30000 + $1.60 x direct labor hour
Total budgeted cost = 30000 + 1.6 x 47000 = $105200
Hope this helps!
