The breakdown of these costs at the 40,000 machine-hour level of activity is: Utilities (variable) Supervisory salaries (fixed) Maintenance (mixed) Total overhead cost $ 56,000 60,000 68,200 $184,200 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 $263,400 of overhead cost in July was maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $263,400 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 total overhead cost would you expect at an activity level of 45,000 machine-hours?

First, there is disagreement about how best to allocate the manufacturing overhead among the products. The current cost accounting system allocates manufacturing overhead to products based on expected unit sales. (Because Ferry carries no inventory, unit sales are equal to units produced.) Second, there is a concern about a "softening" in the demand for these systems and the managers at Ferry want to get a better understanding of possible financial implications if demand should be weaker than expected.
