On January 1, 2017, X Company developed the following overhead cost function for the year: $212,000 + $8.77X, where X is the number of units produced. The following additional information for 2017 is available:
1. What was the 2017 master (static) budget for total overhead?
2. What was the 2017 flexible budget for total overhead?
Budgeted production | 10,400 units |
Actual production | 9,800 units |
Actual fixed costs | $214,000 |
Actual variable costs per unit |
$9.07 |
Just put ‘budgeted production units’ in place of ‘X’ in the cost equation to calculate Budget for Total Overhead.
Equation: $ 212000 + $8.77X
Total Overhead [master Budget] = 212000 + (8.77 x 10400 units)
Total Overhead [master Budget] = 212000 + 91208
Total Overhead [master Budget]= $ 303,208
Just put ‘actual production units’ in place of ‘X’ in the cost equation to calculate Budget for Total Overhead.
Equation: $ 212000 + $8.77X
Total Overhead [Flexible Budget] = 212000 + (8.77 x 9800 units)
Total Overhead [Flexible Budget] = 212000 + 85946
Total Overhead [Flexible Budget] = $ 297,946
