Flexed and Actual Budget of Orchid Ltd
Question
Orchid Ltd. is a small furniture manufacturer. It was established as a family-owned business 30 years ago and prides itself on high-quality products. Most of its products are made to order as a result of direct orders from Internet based sales. Typically the company has been profitable, operating at the top end of the market; recently, however, costs appear to have been increasing and the company has also seen a decline in its sales. The workforce is highly skilled and recently several of the experienced craftspeople who make the products have retired, and the company has had problems recruiting, training and retaining suitably skilled employees. One of its products, a table, has the following standard costs:
|
|
£ |
|
Direct materials (8m @ £30/m) |
240.00 |
|
Direct labour (10 hours @ £25/hr) |
250.00 |
|
Fixed overheads |
160.00
|
|
|
650.00 |
|
Selling price |
950.00
|
|
Standard profit margin |
300.00 |
The table is made from solid oak and the above materials reflect the size of the table in square metres. The labour required to make the table is highly skilled.
The monthly production and sales are planned to be 800 units. The actual results for March were as follows:

|
|
Fixed overheads |
(130,000)
|
|
|
|

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was really unsure about using the forms and classes in visual basic programming language when I came across HwA. The visual basic assignment expert here has deep insight and knowledge and I think as they are professional involved in visual basic programming, they tend to solve the assignments much more accurately and that too in no time.

During my second trimester one of my class-mates told me about TheReliableTutor.com. However, back then I thought I do not require any help. But I was proved wrong shortly and contacted them. The nursing assignment tutors are really fantastic and they work tirelessly till you get what you exactly asked for. Really happy with the service I got
William Turner Student
The concepts surrounding kinetics and dynamics in chemical engineering often confused me in my initial days, till I came across HwA. Their team of online chemical engineering assignment experts helped me through the course by letting me get excellent grades in all of my assignments. And the best part is that because the tutors are from Singapore itself there is no gap in the communication between us.

I was marveled to find out that HwA offers such specific subject related nursing assignment solution. I always aimed to be a oncology nurse as the subject itself triggered my sense and passion for caring patients in need and when I saw the experts here in HwA dealing with the subject, I felt more inspired. I regularly took help and even now during my DNP I take constant help from the oncology nursing experts.
Stacey Strevens Student
I had missed the classes on Isometrics because I had to miss school for some family emergencies. With the existing course load I had not got time to catch up with the topic and so when time came to write the assignment on Isometrics I was absolutely clueless. Thanks to the basic mathematics assignment experts at HwA I was able to not only understand the assignment but also submit the essay on time. The quality of work provided is also very high and I have been noticing an upturn in my overall grades.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
