Haas Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company's first three years of operations: Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Variable selling and administrative Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ $ $ 27 14 6 1 ta $ 510,000 $ 210,000 During its first year of operations, Haas produced 60,000 units and sold 60,000 units. During its second year of operations, it produced 75,000 units and sold 50,000 units. In its third year, Haas produced 40,000 units and sold 65,000 units. The selling price of the company's product is $60 per unit. Understanding the High-Low Method Calculating the outcome for the high-low method requires a few formula steps. First, you must calculate the variable cost component and then the fixed cost component, and then plug the results into the cost model formula. First, determine the variable cost component: HAC Lowest Activity Cost Variable Cost = HAUS Lowest Activity Units where: HAC = Highest activity cost HAUS = Highest activity units Variable cost is per unit Next, use the following formula to determine the fixed cost component: Fixed Cost = HAC (Variable Cost X HAUS) Use the results of the first two formulas to calculate the high-low cost result using the following formula: High-Low Cost Fixed Cost + (Variable Cost ~ UA) where: UA = Unit activity 4) Shipping costs for the last 3 years have been as follows: Year 1: $126,000 Year 2: $115,000 Year 3: $131,500 a) Would the total cost of shipping be dependent on the number of units SOLD or the number of units PRODUCED? b) Use the 3 years of shipping expense given above and YOUR units produced or sold (as per your answer in (a)) from CONNECT and calculate the variable cost per unit for Shipping. c) Continue to use High-Low method, identify the average fixed cost element for shipping. Note: Check figures must be supported to earn credit for grading purposes. d) Write the formula for shipping costs as Y = Fixed costs + VC*Q. Your formula should include Y and Q as variables and your answer to c) as Fixed Costs and your answer to b) as the VC per unit. e) If Haas Company plans to produce and sell 90,000 units, how much can they expect their shipping costs to be for the period
