Sheridan Company's high and low level activity last year was 56000 units of product produced in May and 18000 units produced in November. Machine maintenance cost were $162,600 in May and $63,800 in November.

Balcom Enterprises is planning to introduce a new product that will sell for $120 per unit. Manufacturing cost estimates for 28,000 units for the first year of production are: Direct materials $1,372,000. Direct labor $630,000 (based on $18 per hour × 35,000 hours). Although overhead has not be estimated for the new product, monthly data for Balcom's total production for the last two years has been analyzed using simple linear regression. The analysis results are as follows: Dependent variable Factory overhead costs Independent variable Direct labor hours Intercept $ 136,000 Coefficient on independent variable $ 5.00 Coefficient of correlation 0.959 R2 0.846 Based on this information, what percentage of the variation in overhead costs is explained by the independent variable?
