2: The Winston Company uses weighted average process costing. The following is an incomplete statement of cost of goods manufactured: Beginning inventory $ 2,700 Cost incurred: Direct materials $ 5,100 Direct Labor 6,100 Applied Overhead 12,200 $23,400 $26,100 Less: Ending inventory ? Cost of goods manufactured ? The $2,700 cost of beginning inventory included $400 of direct material charges and $2,300 of conversion cost charges. During the period, 100 units were transferred out. The ending work-in-process inventory consists of 10 units that are 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion activities.

Frazier Manufacturing Company collected the following production data for the past month: Units Produced Total Cost 1,600 $66,000 1,300 57,000 1,500 67,500 1,100 49,500 If the high-low method is used, what is the monthly total cost equation? A. Total cost = $0 + $45/unit B. Total cost = $13,200 + $33/unit C. Total cost = $16,500 + $30/unit D. Total cost = $9,900 + $36/unit
I know the answer is $13,200+33/unit. But I do not see how the math is done, or I get 34. Could someone break down each step of the math for me please & thank you.

Nova Company’s total overhead cost at various levels of activity are presented below:
| Month | Machine- Hours |
Total Overhead Cost |
||
| April | 49,000 | $ | 205,220 | |
| May | 39,000 | $ | 179,420 | |
| June | 59,000 | $ | 231,020 | |
| July | 69,000 | $ | 256,820 | |
Assume that the total overhead cost above consists of utilities, supervisory salaries, and maintenance. The breakdown of these costs at the 39,000 machine-hour level of activity is:
| Utilities (variable) | $ | 58,500 | ||
| Supervisory salaries (fixed) | 64,000 | |||
| Maintenance (mixed) | 56,920 | |||
| Total overhead cost | $ | 179,420 | ||
Nova Company’s management wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements.
Required:
1. Estimate how much of the $256,820 of overhead cost in July was maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $256,820 consisted of utilities and supervisory salaries. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs!) (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
2. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the "Variable cost per machine-hours" to 2 decimal places.)
| Machine Hours | Maintenance Cost | |
| High activity level | ||
| Low activity level | ||
| Change | $ | |
| Variable cost element | per mH | |
| Fixed cost element |
Y= a + bX
3. Express the company’s total overhead cost in the linear equation form Y = a + bX. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the "Variable cost per machine-hours" to 2 decimal places.)
| Variable cost per | ||
| Machine-Hour | Fixed Cost | |
| Utilities cost | ||
| Supervisory salaries cost | ||
| Maintenance cost | ||
| Total overhead cost | $ | $ |
y= a +bX
4. What total overhead cost would you expect to be incurred at an activity level of 44,000 machine-hours? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
