Solved: Luxor Fashions manufactures very high quality

traditional men s suits that are

Luxor Fashions manufactures very high-quality traditional men's suits that are sold in exclusive
men's stores around the world. Luxor opened a new factory in Italy two years ago to employ the
best Italian tailors to cut, assemble, and stitch high-fashion mens' business attire. The business
plan for the new factory called for 250 tailors, each working 2,000 hours per year. Overhead is
allocated to individual suits based on the number of direct labor hours in the suit. Luxor uses a
flexible overhead budget to estimate its overhead rate. Fixed manufacturing overhead next year
is budgeted at 26.05 million euros, and variable manufacturing overhead is budgeted at 20
euros per direct labor hour. The following table provides next year's production schedule and
the number of expected (budgeted) direct labor hours per suit style:
