Problem 5A-8 (Algo) High-Low Method; Predicting Cost [LO5-10] Nova Company's total overhead cost at various levels of activity are presented below: Assume that the total overhead cost above consists of utilities, supervisory salaries. and maintenance. The breakdown of these costs at the 36.000 machine-hour level of activity is: Nova Company's management wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements. Required: 1. Estimate how much of the $253,340 of overhead cost in July was maintenance cost. (Hint: to do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $253,340 consisted of utilities and supervisory salaries. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs.) 2. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance in the form Y= a+bX 3. Express the company's total overhead cost in the form Y=a+bX 4. What totaloverhead cost would you expect to be incurred at an activity level of 41,000 machine-hours? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Estimate how much of the $253,340 of overhead cost in July was maintenance cost. (Hint: determine how much of the $253,340 consisted of utilities and supervisory salaries. Think. fixed costs.) (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
