Hello team, I will cut and paste this:

Nation’s Capital Fitness, Inc. operates a chain of fitness centers in the Washington, D.C., area. The firm’s controller is accumulating data to be used in preparing its annual profit plan for the coming year. The cost behavior pattern of the firm’s equipment maintenance costs must be determined. The accounting staff has suggested the use of an equation, in the form of Y = a + bX, for maintenance costs. Data regarding the maintenance hours and costs for last year are as follows:

4-a. Compute the variable cost per hour and the fixed cost per hour at 630 hours of activity. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

****HERE IS MY MATH********************

Variable Cost Per Unit = Difference in Total Cost

                                             Difference in Hours

                                    = $4882 - $2750 = 2132

                                    = 530 – 270 =         260

2132/260= 8.2 PER UNIT

FIXED COST = Total Costs – Variable Costs

= $4882 – ($8.20 x 530)

= $4882 – 4346

= 536

My question is, in order to figure this out at 630 hours of activity, do I do the same work above and just use 630 instead of 530?

Maloney Pharmaceuticals manufactures an​ over-the-counter allergy medication called Breathe.

Maloney is trying to win market share from Sudafed and Tylenol. The company has developed several different Breathe products tailored to specific markets. For​ example, the company sells large commercial containers of​ 1,000 capsules to​ health-care facilities and travel packs of 20 capsules to shops in​ airports, train​ stations, and hotels

Maloney​'s ​controller,Sylvia DelGudico​, has just returned from a conference on ABC. She asks Kyle Yeung​, supervisor of the Breathe product​ line, to help her develop an ABC system. DelGudico and Yeung identify the following​ activities, related​ costs, and cost allocation​ bases

  1. Grainy Goodness Company

    Grainy Goodness Company manufactures granola cereal by a series of three processes, beginning materials such as oats, sweeteners, and nuts being introduced in the Mixing Department. From the Mixing Department, the materials pass through the Baking and Packaging departments, emerging as boxed granola cereal ready for shipment to retail outlets. Direct materials are added at the beginning of each process, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production in each department.

    During March, the President and sole stockholder, Jonathan Groat, reviewed the A report prepared periodically by a processing department, summarizing (1) the units for which the department is accountable and the disposition of those units and (2) the costs incurred by the department and the allocation of those costs between completed and incomplete production.Cost of Production Report for the Mixing Department. He is concerned that the Mixing Department may not be operating efficiently, and asks for your help.

    Cost of Production

    Jonathan has noticed that his production manager has omitted some of the data on the Cost of Production. Determine the missing information. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". Round your per-unit computations to the nearest cent, if required.

2. Sales minus variable costs equals contribution margin. Contribution margin divided by sales equals contribution margin ratio.

3. Fixed costs divided by unit contribution margin equals break-even point in units. Break-even units times unit sale price equals break-even dollars.

4. Draw lines for total costs and total sales. The two lines should intersect at the break-even point.

5. (Sales minus sales at break-even) divided by sales equals margin of safety.

6. Contribution margin divided by the income from operations equals operating leverage.

"Don't tell me we've lost another bid!" exclaimed Sandy Kovallas, president of Lenko Products, Inc. "I'm afraid so," replied Doug Martin, the operations vice president. "One of our competitors underbid us by about $10,000 on the Hastings job." "I just can’t figure it out," said Kovallas. "It seems we’re either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid anymore. What’s happened?"  

  
Lenko Products manufactures specialized goods to customers' specifications and operates a job-order costing system. Manufacturing overhead cost is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year:

4. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs at 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead).


a. What was the company's bid price on the Hastings job if the plantwide overhead rate had been used to apply overhead cost?

Bid price with plant wide rate


b.What would the bid price have been if departmental overhead rates had been used to apply overhead cost?

  

Bid price with departmental rate

   

5. At the end of the year, the company assembled the following actual cost data relating to all jobs worked on during the year:

"Don't tell me we've lost another bid!" exclaimed Sandy Kovallas, president of Lenko Products, Inc. "I'm afraid so," replied Doug Martin, the operations vice president. "One of our competitors underbid us by about $10,200 on the Hastings job." "I just can’t figure it out," said Kovallas. "It seems we’re either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid anymore. What’s happened?"

Lenko Products manufactures specialized goods to customers' specifications and operates a job-order costing system. Manufacturing overhead cost is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year:

                                                                                                              Department

                                                               Cutting                         Machining                       Assembly                   Total Plant

Direct labor                                           301,000                        219,000                           419,000                       939,000

Manufacturing overhead                       526,000                       810,890                            81,000                          1,417,890

Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Hastings job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows:

                                                                                                                      Department

                                                                               Cutting                               Machining                                Assembly                           Total Plant

Direct Materials                                                     $11,900                              $900                                         $5,700                               $18,500

Direct labor                                                            $6,400                               $ 1,800                                     $13,000                              $21,200

The company uses a plantwide overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. Required:

1. Assuming the use of a plantwide overhead rate:

a. Compute the rate for the current year.

Predetermined overhead rate.......................% of direct labor cost

b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Hastings job.

Manufacturing overhead cost....................................

2. Suppose that instead of using a plantwide overhead rate, the company had used a separate predetermined overhead rate in each department. Under these conditions: a.Compute the rate for each department for the current year.(Round predetermined overhead percentages to the nearest whole percent.)

                                                                                       Predetermined Overhead Rate

Cutting department...................................%

Machining department...............................%

Assembly department.................................%

b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Hastings job. (Round your predetermined overhead percentages to the nearest whole percent.)

Manufacturing overhead cost...........................

4. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs at 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead). a. What was the company's bid price on the Hastings job if the plantwide overhead rate had been used to apply overhead cost?

Bid price with plant wide rate..............................

b.What would the bid price have been if departmental overhead rates had been used to apply overhead cost?

Bid price with department rate........................................

5. At the end of the year, the company assembled the following actual cost data relating to all jobs worked on during the year:

                                                                                            Department

                                                        Cutting                      Machining                   Assembly             Total Plant

Direct materials                               $760,000                   $91,000                       $410,000               $1,261,000

Direct labor                                     $317,000                   $209,000                     $340,000                $866,000

Manufacturing overhead                 $559,000                  $831,000                      $92,000                  $1,482,000    

a. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year, assuming that a plantwide overhead rate is used.

.............................overhead cost...........................

b. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year, assuming that departmental overhead rates are used.
