Crosshill Company's total overhead costs at various levels of activity are presented below: Month Machine- Hours Total Overhead Cost April 70,000 $ 202,200 May 60,000 $ 180,300 June 80,000 $ 224,100 July 90,000 $ 246,000 Assume that the overhead cost above consists of utilities, supervisory salaries, and maintenance. The breakdown of these costs at the 60,000-machine-hour level of activity in May is as follows: Utilities (variable) $ 52,200 Supervisory salaries (fixed) 21,000 Maintenance (mixed) 107,100 Total overhead cost $ 180,300 The company wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements. Required: 1. Estimate how much of the $246,000 of overhead cost in July was maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, first determine how much of the $246,000 consisted of utilities and supervisory salaries. Think about the behaviour of variable and fixed costs within the relevant range.) (Round the "Variable cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.) 2. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. (Round the "Variable cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)

Assume that a company uses a standard cost system and applies overhead to production based on direct labor-hours. It provided the following excerpt from the standard cost card of its only product: Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost Fixed manufacturing overhead 2 hours $ 6.00 per hour $ 12.00 During the most recent period, the following additional information was available: The total actual fixed overhead cost was $275,000. The budgeted amount of fixed overhead cost was $285,000. 46,000 direct labor-hours were actually used to produce 24,190 units. How much fixed overhead was applied to work in process?

Curry Company has two divisions, Eastern Division and Western Division. Curry Company has been allocating overhead based on direct labor hours. For the most recent year, the predetermined overhead rate was $70 per direct labor hour. An activity-based costing analysis of Curry's operations has identified three different cost pools. Data about the cost drivers for each pool for the most recent year given below. Cost Pool Number of Events per Year Cost Pool A B 2,000 $100,000 1,000 200,000 50,000 $350,000 с 50 Total The following data relate to cost driver event activity within the two divisions during the most recent year.
