Allen Company’s master budget called for 50,000 units of production. Budgeted direct material costs
at this level were $450,000 or $9 per unit. Allen actually produced 54,000 units and incurred direct
material costs of $496,000.
$10,000 U
$36,000 U
$46,000 U
$10,000 F
SOLUTION
BUDGETED= 54,000UNITS X $9 per unit = 486,0000
VARIANCE= ACTUAL COST- BUDGETED COST
=$496,000 ACTUAL - $486,000 BDG = $10,000 U

A summary of Jacob Company’s flexible budget of manufacturing costs follows:
20,000 Units
Total $192,000
What would the flexible budget of manufacturing costs be at a production volume of 14,000 units?
$144,000
$172,800
$176,000
$192,000
SOLUTION
*FIXED COST IS STILL THE SAME
UNIT VARIABLE COST = [$ 60,000 +70,000 +30,000] / 20,000 UNITS
=160,000/ 20,000 UNITS = $8 VARIABLE UNIT COST
@ 14,000 UNITS
Variable cost = $8 VARIABLE UNIT COST x 14,000 UNITS
= 112,000 + 32,000fixed cost = $144,000
Question 15

Shaw Corporation has developed the following flexible budget formula for annual indirect labor cost:
Total costs = $9,600 + $0.50 per machine hour
Operating budgets for the current month are based upon 30,000 hours of planned machine time.
Indirect labor costs included in this planning budget are:
$15,000.
$2,460.
$24,600.
$15,800.
Solution
Total cost $9,600 / 12 mos 800
30,000 hours of planned machine time x $0.50 per machine hour 15,000
$15,800.
