Flexed budget

Ppinkyjovin1236y ago
Hello sir, Budget. Actual Sales 120000. 100000 Sales rev 1200000 995000 Variable printing costs 360000 280000 How do we get the flexed budget figures like 1000 and 300? Many thanks

The budgeted sales price per unit is $1,200,000 / 120,000 = $10 per unit. Therefore the flexed budget revenue for 100,000 units is 100,000 x $10. The budgeted variable costs per unit is $360,000 / 120,000 = $3 per unit. Therefore the flexed budget for 100,000 units is 100,000 x $3. Please watch my free lectures - I really cannot believe that you can have watched them.

Dear sir, for flexed budget, i would like to double confirm for service industry in order to derive at Std cost, we would flex with 'actual sales unit' for production industry, we would flex with 'actual production unit'

For a production company we flex the costs with the actual units produced. For a service company there are no units produced. But depending on the wording of the question we would most likely flex the costs according to the level of sales.
