Mixed cost: Mixed cost is a cost that includes both the fixed cost and the variable cost. It represents the total cost of the activity or production. Variable Cost: Variable cost is a cost that changes when the volume of production changes, in the same direction and in the same proportion. Fixed Cost: Fixed cost is a cost that remains constant irrespective of the changes in the production volume. High-low method: High-low method is a method of calculating the variable cost and the fixed cost of a product or service. The calculation of this method is based on the total production/activity cost and lowest production/activity cost of the product during any period. To Determine: Calculate the amount of maintenance cost that is included in the $17,625,000 factory overhead cost at the high level of activity. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. Estimate the total factory overhead costs be at 70,000 direct labour-hours. Solution: The maintenance cost of $4,125,000 is included in the $17,625,000 factory overhead cost at the high level of activity. The cost formula for maintenance is : The total factory overhead costs at 70,000 direct labour hour is $16,950,000. Expiations: All calculations and working are explained step by step as below. Calculations: Maintenance cost at the high level of activity. Indirect materials cost per labor hour = Indirect materials cost at high activity level = Total factory overhead cost at high level of activity $17,625,000 Less : Indirect materials -$7,500,000 Less: Rent -$6,000,000 Maintenance Cost at high level of activity $4,125,000 Cost formula for maintenance expenses Step 1: Identify high and low activities level. Particulars Cost/Unit (X1) : Total cost of highest activity $4,125,000 (X2) : Highest activity unit 75,000 (Y1) : Total cost of lowest activity $3,250,000 (Y2) : Lowest activity unit 50,000 Step 2: Calculate the variable cost per direct labour hour Step 3: Calculate the fixed cost Step 4: The cost formula for maintenance expense. Where X is the number of direct labor hour and Y is total maintenance expense. Total factory overhead costs at 70,000 units Maintenance cost at 70,000 unit = = Indirect materials ($100*70,000 labour hours) $7,000,000 Rent $6,000,000 Maintenance $3,950,000 Total factory overhead cost at 70,0000 direct labour hours $16,950,000 Conclusion: Thus, all the solutions are determined and the calculations are explained.
