flexed budget

A consulting firm produces a service that requires the use of labor and materials. Each unit of

service requires a standard labor time of 30 minutes (0.5 hours).  The average pay rate for a labor

hour is £20. The consulting firm considers all materials that are required for the service as variable

overheads (OH), the cost of which is directly associated with the labor hours worked. It has been

estimated that variable OH rate is £10 per service hour.
