Sawaya Co., Ltd., of Japan is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate considerably from year to year according to increases and decreases in the number of direct labor-hours worked in the factory. Total factory overhead costs at high and low levels of activity for recent years are given below:

Level of Activity

Low High
  Direct labor-hours 47,100 62,800
  Total factory overhead costs $ 245,580 $ 273,840

The factory overhead costs above consist of indirect materials, rent, and maintenance. The company has analyzed these costs at the 47,100-hour level of activity as follows:

   
  Indirect materials (variable) $ 61,230
  Rent (fixed) 127,000
  Maintenance (mixed) 57,350
  Total factory overhead costs $ 245,580

To have data available for planning, the company wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements.

Required:
1.

Estimate how much of the $273,840 factory overhead cost at the high level of activity consists of maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $273,840 consists of indirect materials and rent. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs!) (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Maintenance cost at high level of activity_________

2.

Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Variable cost element" to 2 decimal places.)

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. During November, the company transferred 740,000 units of product to finished goods. At the end of November, the work in process inventory consists of 202,000 units that are 50% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning inventory had $306,150 of direct materials and $105,125 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $2,048,850, and the conversion cost added is $1,997,375. Beginning work in process consisted of 77,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 77,000 were from beginning work in process and 663,000 units were started and completed during the period.

Required:
1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.

As of the end of June, the job cost sheets at Racing Wheels, Inc., show the following total costs accumulated on three custom jobs.

Job 102 Job 103 Job 104
Direct materials $ 21,000 $ 55,000 $ 59,000
Direct labor 12,000 29,700 44,000
Overhead applied 4,560 11,286 16,720


Job 102 was started in production in May, and the following costs were assigned to it in May: direct materials, $8,000; direct labor, $3,300; and overhead, $1,254. Jobs 103 and 104 were started in June. Overhead cost is applied with a predetermined rate based on direct labor cost. Jobs 102 and 103 were finished in June, and Job 104 is expected to be finished in July. No raw materials were used indirectly in June. Using this information, answer the following questions. (Assume this company’s predetermined overhead rate did not change across these months.)


1&2. Complete the table below to calculate the cost of the raw materials requisitioned and direct labor cost incurred during June for each of the three jobs?
3. Using the accumulated costs of the jobs, what predetermined overhead rate is used?
4. How much total cost is transferred to finished goods during June?
