- Instructions Send pictures of your written computation. Double rule final answers. Management wants to estimate overhead costs to plan its operations. A recent trade publication revealed that overhead costs tend to vary with machine hours. To check this, they collected the following data for the past 12 months. Month Machine Hours Overhead costs P4,500 4,225 4,321 5,250 4,800 5,100 4,450 4,200 5,475 4,760 4,325 3,975 1 175 2 170 3 160 4 190 175 200 160 6. 7 8. 150 9. 210 10 180 11 170 12 145 Requirements: 1. Use the high-low method to estimate the fixed and variable portion of overhead costs based on machine hours. 2. If the plant is planning to operate at a level of 300 machine hours, next period, what would be the estimated overhead costs? 3. Use the method of least square to estimate the fixed and variable portion of overhead costs based on machine hours.arrow_forwardConsider a small photography studio with 8 workers and 5 The total cost of labor and capital is $3,200. In order to reduce total operating costs, the owner leases 5 additional printers and fires 5 workers. After these changes, the salary of each worker increases by $30, the cost of using each of the printers (both new and old) remains constant, and the total cost of labor and capital decreases to $2,900. What is the cost of using one printer?arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer question 22-23.
