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...

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.)
