d.   Total fixed overhead     = $360,000

e.   Total variable selling cost = $575,000

Explanation / Answer

1. Flexible budget:

Direct material cost = 300,000*5 = 1,500,000

Direct labor cost = 300,000*8 = 2,400,000

Variable overhead cost = 300,000*4 = 1,200,000

Fixed overhead cost = 350,000

Variable selling cost = 280,000*2 = 560,000

2. Variances:

Direct material cost - Favorable

Direct labor cost - Unfavorable

Variable overhead - Favorable

Fixed overhead - Unfavorable

Variable selling cost - Unfavorable
