Sawaya Co., Ltd., of Japan is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate considerably from year to year according to increases and decreases

Sawaya Co., Ltd., of Japan is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate 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

Low High
Direct labor-hours 73,200 97,600
Total factory overhead costs $ 317,960 $ 374,080

The factory overhead costs above consist of indirect materials, rent, and maintenance. The company has analyzed these costs at the 73,200-hour level of activity as follows:

Indirect materials (variable) $ 131,760
Rent (fixed) 120,000
Maintenance (mixed) 66,200
Total factory overhead costs $ 317,960

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 $374,080 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 $374,080 consists of indirect materials and rent. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs!) (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
