Flexible Budget

Activity Level - Direct labor hours (DLH)

510

580

Variable costs:

Grooming Supplies at $5 per DLH

$2,550

$2,900

$3,450

Direct labor at $14 per DLH

$7,140

$8,120

$9,660

Overhead at $2 per DLH

$1,020

$1,160

$1,380

Total variable cost at $21 per DLH

$10,710

$12,180

$14,490

Fixed costs:

Activity Level - Direct labor hours

580

690

Total cost

$19,810

$21,280

$23,590

Total cost per DLH

$38.84

$36.69

$34.19

Note – The total cost per DLH = total cost/direct labor hours

For instance, total cost per DLH at activity level of 580 DLH = $21,280/580 = $36.69

Normal activity level per month – 620 DLH

Groomer hours per job = 1.3 DLH

Profit % = 35% of costs

Total cost equation, = $5x + $14x +9,100 + $2x

= $21x + $9,100

Total cost for 620 DLH = $21 x 620 + $9,100 =$13,020 +$9,100

Total cost for 620 DLH = $22,120

Total cost per DLH = $22,120/620 = $35.68

DLH per pet groomer = 1.3 DLH

Total cost per pet groomer = 1.3 x $35.68 = $46.38

Add: profit at 35% = $16.23

Charge per each pet groomer = $62.61
