Maintenance cost in July Required: 1. Estimate how much of the $246,000 of overhead cost in July was maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, first Determine how much of the $246,000 consisted of utilities and supervisory salaries. Think about the behaviour of variable and fixed costs within the relevant range.) (Round the "Variable cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)
