Milo, the owner, has determined that direct labor is the cost driver for all three categories of costs.
Instructions
(a)Â Â Prepare a flexible budget for activity levels of 550, 600, and 700 direct labor hours.
(b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Explain why the flexible budget is more informative than the static budget.
(c)Â Â Calculate the total cost per direct labor hour at each of the activity levels specified in part (a).
(d)Â Â The groomers at Rensing normally work a total of 650 direct labor hours during each month. Each grooming job normally takes a groomer 1.3 hours. Milo wants to earn a profit equal to 40% of the costs incurred. Determine what he should charge each pet owner for grooming.
