High-Low Method, Cost Formulas

The controller of the South Charleston plant of Ravinia, Inc., monitored activities associated with materials handling costs. The high and low levels of resource usage occurred in September and March for three different resources associated with materials handling. The number of moves is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the activity output, as measured by moves for the two different levels, are presented as follows:

Resource        Number of Moves        Total Cost
Forklift depreciation:              
Low        5,000                $2,000      
High        15,000                2,000      
Indirect labor:              
Low        5,000                $79,000      
High        15,000                119,000      
Fuel and oil for forklift:              
Low        5,000                $3,600      
High        15,000                10,800      

Required:

If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Enter a "0" if required.

1. Determine the cost behavior formula of each resource. Use the high-low method to assess the fixed and variable components.

Forklift depreciation:
V $
F $
Y $
Indirect labor:
V $
F $
Y $ + $X
Fuel and oil for forklift:
V $
F $
Y $X

2. Using your knowledge of cost behavior, predict the cost of each item for an activity output level of 10,000 moves.

Forklift depreciation $
Indirect labor $
Fuel and oil for forklift $

3. Construct a cost formula that can be used to predict the total cost of the three resources combined. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
Materials handling cost = $ + $X

Using this formula, predict the total materials handling cost if activity output is 10,000 moves.

The A&M Hobby Shop carries a line of radio-controlled model racing cars. Demand for the cars is assumed to be constant at a rate of 40 cars per month. The cars cost $60 each, and ordering costs are approximately $15 per order, regardless of the order size. The annual holding cost rate is 20%.

Kingsport Containers Company makes a single product that is subject to wide seasonal variations in demand. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes predetermined overhead rates on a quarterly basis using the number of units to be produced as the allocation base. Its estimated costs, by quarter, for the coming year are given below:

   

Quarter
   First Second Third Fourth
  Direct materials $ 240,000   $ 120,000   $ 60,000   $ 180,000  
  Direct labor 120,000   60,000   30,000   90,000  
  Manufacturing overhead 240,000   216,000   204,000   ?
  
  Total manufacturing costs (a) $ 600,000   $ 396,000   $ 294,000   $ ?
  
  Number of units to be produced (b) 160,000   80,000   40,000   120,000  
  Estimated unit product cost (a รท b) $ 3.75   $ 4.95   $ 7.35   $ ?

   

Management finds the variation in quarterly unit product costs to be confusing and difficult to work with. It has been suggested that the problem lies with manufacturing overhead because it is the largest element of total manufacturing cost. Accordingly, you have been asked to find a more appropriate way of assigning manufacturing overhead cost to units of product.

   

Required:
1-a.

Using the high-low method, estimate the fixed manufacturing overhead cost per quarter and the variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit. (Round the "Variable manufacturing overhead per unit" to 2 decimal places.)

          

1-b.

Compute the total manufacturing cost and unit product cost for the fourth quarter. (Round the "Unit product cost" to 2 decimal places.)

       

3.

Estimate the total manufacturing overhead cost for the year and an annual predetermined overhead rate. (Round the "Predetermined overhead rate" to 2 decimal places.)
