Total overhead applied
. Best Around, Inc., is a manufacturer of vacuums and uses standard costing. Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to products on the basis of budgeted machine-hours. In 2017, budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $17,000,000. Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead was $10 per machine-hour. The denominator level was 1,000,000 machine-hours.
Q. Prepare a graph for fixed manufacturing overhead. The graph should display how Best Around, Inc.’s fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be depicted for the purposes of (a) planning and control and (b) inventory costing.
