Hilby, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 12,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged P7.00 per hour. When activity jumped to 15,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average cost per machine hour totaled P6.40. On the basis of this information, the variable cost per machine hour was: a. P4.00. b. P6.40. c. P6.70. d. P7.00.

Given the following information for a product: Direct labor hours: 0.25 hour/unit Direct labor costs: $20/hour Direct materials cost: S5/unit Overhead costs: 110% of direct labor Packaging and shipping: $2/unit Desired profit margin: 2096 of the total cost Suppose that a market survey has shown that the best competitor's selling price for the product is $19.50 per unit. After conducting a value engineering study, It was found that the material cost is high and another equal and less expensive material can be used to achieve the required target cost. What should the material cost per unit be to achieve the required target cost for the product?
The JAG Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed or variable. JAG Company has heard about a method of measuring cost functions called the high-low method and has decided to use it in this situation. The following are data from the most recent periods: Cost Hours $25,000 5,025 25,100 4,000 34,000 7,515 60,370 15,500 38,000 9.500 Required: (a) Using the high-low method, estimate the cost function. Round to two decimal places. Show work to receive partial credit!! (b) Calculate the estimated total costs at an operating level of 6,000 hours. Show work to receive partial credit!!!
XYZ Company's accountant is estimating next period's total overhead costs (Y). She performed three regression analyses, the first is based on direct labor hours (DLH), the second is based on machine hours (Mhr), and the third is based on quantity produced (Q). The results were: [Y=$95,000 + $9×DLH; R-square = 0.90]; [Y= $120,000 + $5xMhr; R-square = 0.10]; [Y=190,000+2Q; R-square=0.55]. How much of the variations on the overhead costs is explained by %3D the machine hours (Mhr)? Select one: a. 55% b. None of the answers given c. 90% d. 45%
