If the planned budget revenue for 5,000 units is $120,000, what is the flexible budget revenue if the actual activity is 4,500 units?

$120,000/5,000 = $24 per unit x 4,5000 = $108,000

The planning budget calls for total variable costs for supplies to be $6,250 based on 1,000 units with planned revenue at $24,000. A total of 1,200 units were actually produced & sold. What amounts should appear on the flexible budget?

$7,500 for supplies & $28,000 revenue.

A planning budget called for 500 units to be produced & total direct labor cost of $7,500. Actual production was 600 units & actual direct labor cost was $9,300. The spending variance is

$7,500/500 = $15 standard rate per hour x 600 = $9,000 flexible budget - $9,300 actual budget = $300 U

Margin= $25,000/$200,000 (NOI/sales) = 10% Turnover= $250,000/125,000 (sales/average operating assets) = 2.
