INITIAL BUDGET INFORMATION
Our initial plan was to make and sell 500 wrenches. We budgeted 2 lbs. of steel for each wrench,
and expected to pay $1.50 per pound for the steel. We budgeted $20 per hour for labor, and expected it to take
3 hours to make each tool.
Our initial plan was to sell the 500 wrenches for $120 each.
We budgeted $8000 for insurance (fixed overhead), and we decided to use labor hours as the driver for
allocating utilities costs (variable overhead). We expected to have $12,000 in utilities costs.
FLEXIBLE BUDGET
Prepared after-the-fact, using actual quantity of sales, and the Variable OH Application rate determined with Master Budget.
ACTUAL RESULTS
(1) We receive an order for 550 units at $125.00 each
(2) We purchase 1,400 lbs. of materials., paying 1,960.00, or $1.40 per lb.
(3) We drawdown 1250 lbs. materials to produce 550 wrenches .
(4) We drawdown (pay) $21.00 hr. for 1640 hours of labor to produce the 550 wrenches.
(5) We incur variable overhead expenses (ex.- utilities) of $11,890.00.
(6) Fixed overhead (insurance)costs are $7,800. Fixed overhead is deemed to be a period expense.
(7) We sell all 550 units at $125 each.
