Concept explainers
Budgeting; direct material usage,
Xander blue rugs are very popular and demand is high, but because of capacity constraints the firm will produce only 200,000 blue rugs per year. The budgeted selling price is $2,000 each. There are no rugs in beginning inventory. Target ending inventory of rugs is also zero.
Xander makes rugs by hand, but uses a machine to dye the wool. Thus,
There is no direct manufacturing labor cost for dyeing. Xander budgets 62 direct manufacturing labor-hours to weave a rug at a budgeted rate of $13 per hour. It budgets 0.2 machine-hours to dye each skein in the dyeing process.
The following table presents the budgeted overhead costs for the dyeing and weaving cost pools:
