    CA Co manufactures a single product and has drawn up the following flexed budget for the year.
    60% 70% 80%
    $ $ $
    Direct materials 120 000 140 000 160 000
    Direct labour 90 000 105000 120 000
    Production overhead 54 000 58 000 62 000
    Other overhead 40 000 40 000 40 000
    Total cost 304 000 343 000 382 000

    What would be the total cost in a budget that is flexed at the 77% level of activity?

    Sir i wanted to know if I’m solving this question the correct way

    Variable cost p.u: 382,000-304,000/8000-6000 because 80% and 60% activity = 39 variable cost pu

    Fixed cost= 382,000-(8000×39)=70000

    Total cost= 70000+(39×7700)=370300

    Answer is correct, but did i do it the correct way sir? Or do i have to calculate every cost separately? Like material and labour are variable, production oh is semi variable, and other overhead are fixed
