Chapter 10, Problem 10.7E

Appliance Possible Inc. (AP) is a manufacturer of toaster ovens. To improve control over operations, the president of AP wants to begin using a flexible budgeting system, rather than use only the current master budget. The following data are available for APs expected costs at production lewis of 90,000, 100,000, and 110,000 units.

Variable costs
Manufacturing	$6 per unit
Administrative	$4 per unit
Selling	$3 per unit
Fixed costs
Manufacturing	$160,000
Administrative	$80,000

Instructions

(a) Prepare a flexible budget for each of the possible production levels: 90,000, 100,000, and 110,000 units.

(b) If AP sells the toaster ovens for $16 each, how many units will it have to sell to make a profit of $60,000 before taxes?
