Dine City, manufactures pressure Cookers. Based on past experience, Dine City has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = $303,000 + $2.30X, where X equals a number of pressure Cookers. Last year, Dine City produced 40,000 Cookers. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected. Answer the following:   1.    What is the driver for the overhead activity? 2.    What is the total overhead cost incurred by Dine City last year?   3.    What is the total fixed overhead cost incurred by Dine City last year?   4.    What is the total variable overhead cost incurred by Dine City last year?

Please help. I'm getting this wrong every time I try to calculate it. Wilmington Company has two manufacturing departments--Assembly and Fabrication. It considers all of its manufacturing overhead costs to be fixed costs. The first set of data that is shown below is based on estimates from the beginning of the year. The second set of data relates to one particular job completed during the year--Job Bravo.   Estimated Data Assembly Fabrication Total Manufacturing overhead costs $ 1,920,000 $ 2,240,000 $ 4,160,000 Direct labor-hours   80,000   48,000   128,000 Machine-hours   32,000   160,000   192,000     Job Bravo Assembly Fabrication Total Direct labor-hours 17 9 26 Machine-hours 9 12 21     Required: 1. If Wilmington used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, how much manufacturing overhead would be applied to Job Bravo? 2. If Wilmington uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with direct labor-hours as the allocation…

Mariposa, Inc., produces machine tools and currently uses a plantwide overhead rate, based on machine hours. Harry Whipple, the plant manager, has heard that departmental overhead rates can offer significantly better cost assignments than can a plantwide rate. Mariposa has the following data for its two departments for the coming year:   Department A Department B Overhead costs (expected) $528,000 $132,000 Normal activity (machine hours) 110,000 55,000 Required: 1. Compute a predetermined overhead rate for the plant as a whole based on machine hours.$fill in the blank 1 per machine hour 2. Compute predetermined overhead rates for each department using machine hours. Round your answers to one decimal place. Department A $fill in the blank 2 per machine hour Department B $fill in the blank 3 per machine hour 3. Suppose that a machine tool (Product X75) used 60 machine hours from Department A and 140 machine hours from Department B. A second machine tool (Product Y15)…

Anton believes his company's overhead costs are driven (affected) by the number of machine hours because the production process is heavily automated. During the period, the company produced 3,000 units of Product A requiring a total of 100 machine hours and 2,000 units of Product B requiring a total of 25 machine hours. What allocation rate should be used if the company incurs overhead costs of $10,000?

Parker Plastic, Incorporated, manufactures plastic mats to use with rolling office chairs. Its standard cost information for last year follows: Direct materials (plastic) Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor hours) Fixed manufacturing overhead ($378,000 ÷ 900,000 units) Parker Plastic had the following actual results for the past year: Number of units produced and sold Number of square feet of plastic used Cost of plastic purchased and used Number of labor hours worked Direct labor cost Variable overhead cost Fixed overhead cost Direct Labor Rate Variance Direct Labor Efficiency Variance IF TI 1,000,000 11,800,000 $ 8,260,000 $ Required: Calculate Parker Plastic's direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). F 245,000 2,891,000 $ 318,500 $ 355,000 Standard Quantity 12 square…

I need help with this problem.

The Macon Company uses the high-low method to determine its cost equation. The following information was gathered for the past year:     Machine Hours Direct Labor Costs Busiest month (June) 17,500 $ 229,022 Slowest month (December) 10,200 $ 155,000   If Macon expects to use 13,500 machine hours next month, what are the estimated direct labor costs?
