Ayayai Company has prepared a graph of flexible budget data. At zero direct labor hours, the total budgeted cost line intersects the
vertical axis at $18,400. At 8,000 direct labor hours, the line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at
$68,000. How may the fixed and variable costs be expressed? (Round variable cost per direct labor hour to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)
Total budgeted costs are $

Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 4,000 employee hours are budgeted for the coming year. Use the total labor cost formula to make the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for the year. 2. Calculate total fixed labor cost for the year. 3. Calculate total labor cost for the coming year.

The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: a. Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. b. In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for overtime? How much would you be willing to pay per hour of overtime in each department? c. Suppose that 10, 6, and 8 hours of overtime may be scheduled in departments A, B, and C, respectively. The cost per hour of overtime is 18 in department A, 22.50 in department B, and 12 in department C. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the optimal production quantities if overtime is made available. What are the optimal production quantities, and what is the revised total contribution to profit? How much overtime do you recommend using in each department? What is the increase in the total contribution to profit if overtime is used?arrow_forwardAt zero direct labor hours in a flexible budget graph, the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $30,000.
