Labor variances (master vs. flexible budget)
The question asks what is the planned cost of tellers in an average month
The information given is that in November 1,520 hours were worked, 19,000$ was received in wages, 32,000 transactions were made in a bank. The transactions were higher in November because the average monthly volume is 24,000 transactions. And the employees get paid 12.50$ and on budget should be making about 20 transactions an hour.
Now what I'm confused on is how to set up the table to find the cost of tellers in an average month.
Like all the examples in my book have tables for master budgets that include revenue but this one is for cost and I don't have an example. So I don't know what's needed to find the cost.
My assumption is that it would be the transactions and the transactions made per hour plus the amount of hours worked and the total wages paid.
