Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for a Time Period That Differs from the Data Period Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 4,000 employee hours are budgeted for the coming year. Use the total labor cost formula to make the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for the year. 2. Calculate total fixed labor cost for the year. 3. Calculate total labor cost for the coming year. Use the following information for Brief Exercises 3-17 through 3-20: Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected:
Describe the cost formula for a strictly variable cost such as electrical power cost of 1.15 per machine hour (i.e., every hour the machinery is run, electrical power cost goes up by 1.15).
The expected costs for the Maintenance Department of Stazler, Inc., for the coming year include: Fixed costs (salaries, tools): 64,900 per year Variable costs (supplies): 1.35 per maintenance hour Estimated usage by: Actual usage by: Required: 1. Calculate a single charging rate for the Maintenance Department. 2. Use this rate to assign the costs of the Maintenance Department to the user departments based on actual usage. Calculate the total amount charged for maintenance for the year. 3. What if the Assembly Department used 4,000 maintenance hours in the year? How much would have been charged out to the three departments?

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.

A Company establishes the following standards for the costs of one unit of its product. The standard production overhead costs per unit are bascd on direct-labor hours. Calculation for standard per unit cost is as follows: Std Cost Std Qty 3.00 kg | Direct Material Direct Labor Variable Overhead Fixed Overhead* |Total *based on practical capacity of 20,000 direct-labor hour per month Std Price/Rate $ 8.25 per kg $ 10.00 per hour $ 10.00 per hour $ 7.50 per hour 24.75 $ 20.00 2.00 hour $ 20.00 2.00 hour 15.00 2.00 hour 79.75 During December 2020, the Company purchased 30,000 kg of direct material at a total cost of $246,000. The total wages for December were $260,000, 75% of which were for direct labor. The Company manufactured 9,500 units of product during December 2020, using 28,400 kg of the direct material purchased in December and 18,900 direct-labor hours. Actual variable and fixed overhead cost were $200,000 and $150,000, respectively. The scheduled production for the month was…
