Required:
Employing flexible budgeting techniques, prepare a report that shows budgeted amounts, actual cost, and monthly variation for April
Explain briefly the basis of your budget figure for outside repairs
Assumptions
15 automobile in the pool
25,000 miles per year / automobile
25 miles per gallon / automobile
$1.20 per gallon of gas
$0.0015 per mile for oil, repairs, parts and supplies
$300 per automobile in outside repairs
Supporting Calculations
Gasoline =
31,250 miles
25 mile/gal.
Oil, minor repairs .. =
Outside repairs =
Insurance:
x 1.20 per gallon = $1,500
21,250 miles x $015 per mile = $469
300 per auto x 16 autos
12 months
Annual cost for one auto =
=
= $400
$18,000 / 15 autos
$1,200 per auto
Annual cost for 16 autos = $16 x 1,200 = $19,200
Monthly Cost =
Depreciation:
19,200/12 = $1,600
Annual depreciation per auto =
$66,000/15 = $4,400/auto
Annual depreciation for 16 auto = $4,400/auto x 16 = $70,400
70,400
Monthly depreciation =
= $5,867
