The master budget of Sheffield Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected: Indirect labor$730000 Machine supplies200000 Indirect materials220000 Depreciation on factory building120000 Total manufacturing overhead $1270000 A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of

Total overhead= $1,500,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

First, we need to separate the variable overhead and the fixed overhead:

Variable overhead:

Indirect labor 730,000

Machine supplies 200,000

Indirect materials 220,000

Total variable overhead= $1,150,000

Fixed overhead:

Depreciation on factory building $120,000

Now, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead:

unitary variable overhead= 1,150,000/50,000= $23

Finally, the total overhead for 60,000 units:

Total overhead= 23*60,000 + 120,000

Total overhead= $1,500,000

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
