manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate Sawaya Co., Ltd., of Japan is considerably from year to year according to increases and decreases in the number of direct labor-hours worked in the factory. Total factory overhead costs at high and low levels of activity for recent years are given below: Level of Activity High 76,000 $293,600 Low Direct labor-hours 57,000 $261,300 Total factory overhead costs The factory overhead costs above consist of indirect materials, rent, and maintenance. The company has analyzed these costs at the 57,000-hour level of activity as follows: Indirect materials (variable) Rent (fixed) Maintenance (mixed) 62,700 131,000 67,600 $261,300 Total factory overhead costs To have data available for planning, the company wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements. Required: 1. Estimate how much of the $293,600 factory overhead cost at the high level of activity consists of maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $293,600 consists of indirect materials and rent. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs!) (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Maintenance cost at high level of activity 2. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Variable cost element" to 2 decimal places.) Direct Labor- Hours Maintenance Cost High level of activity Low level of activity Change $ 0 Variable cost element per DLH Fixed cost element EX Y = 3. What total factory overhead costs would you expect the company to incur at an operating level of 62,700 direct labor-hours? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Total factory overhead cost
