Fixed Cost
per Month Cost per
Car Washed

Explanation / Answer

Flexible Budget revenue Report:


Revenue = 5.90 * 8400 = 49,560 (Given that the average earnings = 5.90$ per car)


No. Of Cars Washed : 8,400


Expenses:

Cleaning Supplies : 8400 * 0.40 = 3360

Electricity : 1100 + 0.08 * 8400 = 1772

Maintenance = 8400 * 0.10 = 840

Wages and Salalry : 8400*0.20 + 4300 = 5980


Depreciation : 8200

Rent : 2200


Administrative Expenses : 8400 * 0.01 + 1700 = 1784


Total Expenses : 24,136


Net operating income : 49,560 - 24,136 = 25,424


The variances cn be found out by finding the differences between the calculated values and th expected values.
