Answer:

$409185

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted output units: 28,475 units

Budgeted machine-hours: 17,085 hours

Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 28,475 units: $358,785

Actual output units produced: 32,475 units

Actual machine-hours used: 15,000 hours

Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs: $384,060.

First, we will find Budgeted machine hour per unit produced.

Budgeted machine hour per unit produced= [tex]\frac{Budgeted\ machine\ hour}{Budgeted\ units}[/tex]

⇒[tex]Budgeted machine hour per unit produced= 17085\div 28475= 0.6[/tex]

∴Budgeted machine hour per unit produced= 0.6

Budgeted machine hours allowed for 32475 units= [tex]32475\times 0.6= 19485[/tex]

Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour= [tex]\textrm {Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs}\div Budgeted\ machine\ hours[/tex]

Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour= [tex]358785\div 17085= \$ 21[/tex]

Now, lets find out flexible budget amount.

Flexible budget amount= [tex]\textrm{Budgeted machine hours allowed}\times \textrm{Budgeted variable overhead rate}[/tex]

Flexible budget amount= [tex]19485\times \$ 21= \$ 409185[/tex]

∴Flexible budget amount for variable manufacturing overhead= $409185
