    Materials £77,800
    Labour £34075
    Overhead £7075
    Cost of Production = £118,950 / 39,000 units Production * Closing stock of finished goods 4,000 = £12,200 Closing stock of finished goods.

    Cost of goods sold
    Opening stock £7,000
    + Production £118,950
    - closing Stock (£12,200)
    Cost of goods £113,750

    Hope this helps if not inbox me.

    hey

    Great thats fantastic thank also actually i'm having problems working this one out too....

    Its working out the flexed budget but im only stuck on the (semi variable energy with the variable energy being £2 per unit.

    Budgeted energy 151000 Actual 164000(Flexed volume is also 68000)
    Budgeted Units 63000 Actual Units 68000

    I have no idea where to start with this one!

    Hi,
    variable element fixed element
    £151,000 - (63000 units x £2.00 = £126,000) = £25,000
    68000 units x £2.00 = £136,000 variable + £25,000 fixed = £161,000 which gives an adverse variance of £3,000.

    Hope this helps.

    This was my favourite exam. Sad I know,
    FNST the CBA didn't work properly but we wrote the answers on paper and I passed.
    FP I had a tree hit me on the head 2 days before the exam and I had concussion, but I passed.
    So I have to say that budgeting was my favourite. I passed.

    hey

    It's definately not sad! it's one of my favourite i'd say it's the easiest one and most is just general maths and common sense really. I feel confident enough now anyway so i should be ok. only 4 units left yay! hoping to finish them by April next year it will be a push but if i get my finger out i can do it, and its when my contract for work ends so it would be a perfect deadline!
