Problem 10-2A

Zelmer Company manufactures tablecloths. Sales have grown rapidly over the past 2 years. As a result, the president has installed a budgetary control system for 2017. The following data were used in developing the master manufacturing overhead budget for the Ironing Department, which is based on an activity index of direct labor hours.

Variable costs

Rate per Direct
Labor Hour

Annual Fixed Costs

Indirect labor $0.41 Supervision $43,440 Indirect materials 0.51 Depreciation 19,800 Factory utilities 0.31 Insurance 15,720 Factory repairs 0.24 Rent 30,840
The master overhead budget was prepared on the expectation that 479,400 direct labor hours will be worked during the year. In June, 45,300 direct labor hours were worked. At that level of activity, actual costs were as shown below.

Variable—per direct labor hour: indirect labor $0.45, indirect materials $0.49, factory utilities $0.33, and factory repairs $0.29.

Fixed: same as budgeted. Your answer is partially correct. Try again. (a) Prepare a monthly manufacturing overhead flexible budget for the year ending December 31, 2017, assuming production levels range from 37,400 to 52,400 direct labor hours. Use increments of 5,000 direct labor hours. (List variable costs before fixed costs.)

Your answer is incorrect. Try again. State the formula for computing the total budgeted costs for the Ironing Department. (Round variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.55.)
The formula is = $

+ total variable costs of $

per direct labor hour. By accessing this Question Assistance, you will learn while you earn points based on the Point Potential Policy set by your instructor. Question Attempts: Unlimited
