Production Overhead Cost Budget Linden Nursery grows and sells potted perennial plants, as well as ornamental and fruit trees. The owner of Linden Nursery has determined that variable overhead costs are largely a function of direct labor hours spent growing and tending the plants and trees. Variable overhead costs include supervisory costs, indirect materials, and utilities (power and water)
and are estimated to be $0.75, $0.40, and $0.55 per direct labor hour, respectively. Fixed overhead costs for property taxes, equipment depreciation, and night security are expected to be $1,500, $900, and $1,100, respectively, each quarter. Linden keeps a minimal staff during the winter season and then expands its workforce substantially during the gardening season.
