    Assuming no other prices are to be considered, Former should price L-42 at $3.95. The primary reason for this from a costing perspective is that the L-42 is produced in a department whose equipment could not be used to produce Forner's other carpets. All the more reason why the fixed costs of the L-42 department should not be considered in the pricing of L-42. Removing the fixed costs of the L-42 department, the Total Variable Cost of L-42 is only approximately $1.55 per square yard. And if you factor in the Direct Overhead costs of the L-42 department, it is still only approximately $0.53 per square yard more, for a total direct cost of approximately $2.08 per square yard.…

    A flexible budget is a budget statement that shows what the expected costs should have been for any level of output, so that the actual costs can be compared to planned costs for the output that was actually generated. In a flexible budget, the costs are separated into variable and fixed costs. The more information that is provided to explain variances in budgeted and actual amounts, the easier it is for management to make successful decisions about costs and expenses.…

    The flexible budget reacts to changes in activity, and it provides a more efficient tool for performance evaluation. It is driven by the expected cost behavior. Fixed factory overhead is the same no matter the activity level, and variable costs are a direct function of observed activity. When performance evaluation is based on a static budget, there is little incentive to drive sales and production above anticipated levels because increases in volume tend to produce more costs and unfavorable variances. The flexible budget-based performance evaluation provides a remedy for this phenomenon.…
