Wythe industries is in the process of analyzing its manufacturing overhead costs. Management is not sure the number of units produced or number of direct labor (DL) hours is the best cost driver to use for predicting manufacturing overhead (MOH) costs The following information is available: ick the loon to view the information m Read the requirements Requirement 1. Determine the manufacturing overhead costs are fixed, variable, or m ed? Wythe's manufacturing overhead appears to be a cost. If it were a cost, it would remain constant in total each month. If it were a per unit of activity) basis. Both Wythe's MOH per D1 hour and MOH per unit Y with volume cost, it would remain constant on a Data Table Direct Labor Manufacturing Overhead Costs Month Hours July August September October November December....s 465,000 516,000 421,000 447,000 548,000 436,000 22,700 26,100 19,000 21,200 29,000 19,600 Units MOH Cost per Produced DL Hour 3,790 $ 20.48 $ 4,310 $ 19.77 $ 4,180 $ 22.16 $ 3,500 $ 21.08 $ 5,760 $ 18.90 $ 3,240 $ 22.24 $ MOH Cost per Unit Produced 122.69 119.72 100.72 127.71 95.14 134.57 Print Done analyzing its manufacturing overhead costs. Management is The following information is available: ed O Requirements nufa bears e's M Are manufacturing overhead costs fixed, variable, or mixed? Explain. Graph the company's manufacturing overhead costs against DL hours. Graph the company's manufacturing overhead costs against units produced. Do the data appear to be sound, or do you see any potential data problems? Explain. Use the high-low method to determine the company's manufacturing overhead cost equation using DL hours as the cost driver. Assume that management believes all data to be accurate and wants to include all of it in the analysis. Estimate manufacturing overhead costs if the company incurs 24,500 DL hours in January Print Done then
