I need help with these two question. Thanks.
Flexible budgets Joe's Lawn Care Service primarily mows lawns for residential customers. Management has determined direct labor hours is the primary cost driver and has developed the following cost equations based on direct labor hours: Lawn supplies (variable) y = $0 + $4.00X Direct labor (variable) y = $0 + $12.00X Overhead (mixed) y = $8,000 + $1 .00X a. Prepare a exible budget for each of the following activity levels: 825, 900 , 975 , and 1,050 direct labor hours. Note: Round costs per DLH to two decimal places (i.e. round $4.355 to $4.36). Direct Labor Hours 825 900 975 1,050 Variable costs: Supplies $ $ $ $ Direct labor Overhead Total variable costs $ $ $ $ Variable cost per DLH $ $ $ $ Fixed costs: Overhead $ $ $ $ Fixed costs per DLH $ $ $ $ b. Determine the total cost per direct labor hour at each ofthe levels of activity. Note: Round your answers to two decimal places. c. The company normally records 975 direct labor hours duringJune. Each job typically requires 1.45 hours of labor time. If management wants to earn a profit equal to 40 percent of the costs incurred, what should the charge be to an average lawn-care customer? Note: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ Direct Labor Hours 825 900 975 1,050 Total cost per DLH $ $ $ $ Flexible budgets; predetermined 0H rates The Splash makes large fiberglass swimming pools and uses machine hours and direct labor hours to apply overhead in the Production and Installation departments, respectively. The monthly cost formula for overhead in Production is y = $7,950 + $4.05 MH; the overhead cost formula in Installation is y = $6,150 + $14.25 DLH. These formulas are valid for a relevant range of activity up to 8,400 machine hours in Production and 12,600 direct labor hours in Installation. Each pool is estimated to require 35 machine hours in Production and 84 hours of direct labor in Installation, Expected capacity for the year is 168 pools. a. Prepare a flexible budget for Production at possible annual capacities of 3,500, 4,200, and 4,900 machine hours.

Prepare a flexible budget for Installation at possible annual capacities of 8,400, 9,800, and 11,200 machine hours.

Prepare a budget for next month's variable, fixed, and total overhead costs for each department assuming that expected production is 11.2 pools. Production costs Variable $ Fixed (monthly amount) Total production overhead $ Installation costs Variable $ Fixed (monthly amount) Total installation Total $ d. Calculate the total overhead cost to be applied to each pool scheduled for production in the coming month if expected capacity is used to calculate the predetermined OH rates. Note: Round costs per DLH to two decimal places (i.e. round $4.355 to $4.36). $
