Danskmat AS operates a home meal delivery service. It has agreements with 20 restaurants to pick up and deliver meals to customers who phone or fax in orders. Danskmat is cur- rently examining its overhead costs for May 2008.
Variable-overhead costs for May 2008 were budgeted at DKr 20 per hour of home delivery time. Fixed-overhead costs were budgeted at DKr 240 000. The budgeted number of home deliveries in May 2008 was 8000. Delivery time, the allocation base for variable- and fixed- overhead costs, is budgeted to be 0.80 hour per delivery.
Actual results for May 2008 were:
Variable overhead DKr 141 740
Fixed overhead DKr 276 000
