    From the flexible budgets given in the question, we can tell that the material costs are variable because they are $4 per unit at each of the three levels.

    Similarly the labour costs are variable because they are $5.50 per unit at each of the three levels.

    It is also obvious that the total fixed costs really are fixed and will be $750,000 in total at all levels.

    If they operate at 80% capacity then they will be producing 80% x 262,500 = 210,000 units.

    Finally, they need one supervisor for every extra 50,000 units. For 200,000 units they would need 4 supervisors and therefore for the production of 210,000 they will need 5 supervisors (they obviously cannot emply a fraction of a supervisor 🙂 ). Therefore there will be an extra cost of 5 x $35,000 = $175,000.

    Since the know the variable costs per unit, and the total fixed costs, we can now calculate the total budgeted cost.
