Tylon's Hardware uses a flexible budget to develop planning information
for its warehouse operations. For 20X2, the company anticipated that it
would have 96,000 sales units for 664 customer shipments. Average
storage bin usage for various inventories was estimated to be 200 per
day. The costs and cost drivers were determined to be as follows:

Storage - 3.00 per storage bin
Utilities 1,000 1.50 per 100 units
Shipping clerks 1,000 1.00 per shipment
Supplies - 0.50 per shipment
During the year, the warehouse processed 90,000 units for 600 customer shipments. The workers used 225 storage bins on average each day to sort, store, and process goods for shipment. The actual costs for 20X2 were:
