    to find out

    flexible budget amount for the first quarter

    solution

    first we get here direct material cost for flexible budget that is express as

    direct material cost is 80000

    and here no of hour = 20000 and rate is 4 per hour

    so cost for 22000 hour is = $88000 ... 1

    and

    direct labor cost for flexible budget is

    here direct labor cost is = 160000

    and and here no of hour = 20000 and rate is 8 per hour

    so cost for 22000 hour is = $176000 ... 2

    so total cost flexible budget amount for the first quarter is here as

    total cost flexible budget = direct material + direct labor cost + building rental ... 3

    total cost flexible budget = $88000 + $176000 + 48000

    total cost flexible budget = $312000
