Flexible budgeting at the beginning of the period, the fabricating department budgeted direct labor of $9,280 and equipment depreciation of $2,300 for 640 hours of production. the department actually completed 600 hours of production. determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting. round your labor rate to nearest cent.

$11,000

Explanation:

Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor = $9,280

Depreciation remains constant at any level of production.

Budgeted labor rate = Budgeted direct labor ÷ Hours of production

                                  = $9,280 ÷ 640

                                  = $14.5 per hour

Direct labor cost = completed hours of production × Budgeted labor rate

                            = 600 × $14.5

                            = $8,700

Budget for the Fabricating Department at 600 hours of production:

Budgeted cost = Direct labor cost + Equipment depreciation

                         = $8,700 + $2,300

                         = $11,000
