Question

Venetian 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.

A.) State the total budgeted cost formula for each department. (Round cost per direct labor hour to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)

B.) Compute the total budgeted cost for each department, assuming actual direct labor hours worked were 50,500 and 44,500, in the Fabricating and Assembling Departments, respectively.

Fabricating Department

Assembling Department

1. At zero direct labor hours, the total budgeted cost line and the fixed cost line intersect the vertical axis at $54,000 in the Fabricating Department and $42,000 in the Assembling Department. 2. At normal capacity of 47,500 direct labor hours, the line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $134,750 in the Fabricating Department, and $118,000 in the Assembling Department.
