"Scott Manufacturing Co.'s static budget at 10,000 units of production includes $40,000 for direct labor and $4,000 for electric power. Total fixed costs are $23,000. At 12,000 units of production, a flexible budget would show:"

Total costs= $75,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 10,000 units:

$40,000 for direct labor

$4,000 for electric power

Total fixed costs are $23,000

We need to determine the unitary variable cost for direct labor and electric power:

Unitary direct labor= 40,000/10,000= $4

Electric power= 4,000/10,000= $0.4 per unit

Now, for 12,000 units:

Total direct labor cost= 4*12,000= $48,000

Electric power= 0.4*12,000= $4,800

Fixed costs= 23,000

Total costs= $75,000

b is the correct answer
