Atlas Manufacturing incurs electricity costs that include a fixed minimum cost plus a variable cost component based on machine hours. The following data has been recorded for two different levels of machine usage: Machine Hours Electricity Cost 30,000 40,000 $45,000 $57,000 Using the High-Low Method, determine the estimated variable cost per machine hour.

Grand Canyon Manufacturing Inc. produces and sells a product with a price of 100 per unit. The following cost data have been prepared for its estimated upper and lower limits of activity: Overhead: Selling and administrative expenses: Required: 1. Classify each cost element as either variable, fixed, or semi-variable. (Hint: Recall that variable expenses must go up in direct proportion to changes in the volume of activity.) 2. Calculate the break-even point in units and dollars. (Hint: First use the high-low method illustrated in Chapter 4 to separate costs into their fixed and variable components.) 3. Prepare a break-even chart. 4. Prepare a contribution income statement, similar in format to the statement appearing on page 540, assuming sales of 5,000 units. 5. Recompute the break-even point in units, assuming that variable costs increase by 20% and fixed costs are reduced by 50,000.
Rose Company has a relevant range of production between 10,000 and 25.000 units. The following cost data represents average cost per unit for 15,000 units of production.
