Round interim calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

Answer- The appropriate total budget for the department, assuming it uses flexible budgeting= $443128.

Explanation- Total budget amount at 10400 hours of production= Direct labor+ Direct materials+ Fixed factory overhead

= {($136000+$155000)/7000 hours}*10400 hours+$10800

= ($41.57 per hour*10400 hours)+$10800

= $432328+$10800

= $443128
