Using the High-Low Method to Estimate Variable andFixed CostsLocated on Swiftcurrent Lake in Glacier National Park, Many Glacier Hotel was built in1915 by the Great Northern Railway. In an effort to supplement its lodging revenue, the hoteldecided in 20X1 to begin manufacturing and selling small wooden canoes decorated withsymbols hand painted by Native Americans living near the park. Due to the great success ofthe canoes, the hotel began manufacturing and selling paddles as well in 20X3. Many hotelguests purchase a canoe and paddles for use in self-guided tours of Swiftcurrent Lake. Becauseproduction of the two products began in different years, the canoes and paddles are producedin separate production facilities and employ different laborers. Each canoe sells for $500, andeach paddle sells for $50. A 20X3 fire destroyed the hotel’s accounting records. However, anew system put into place before the 20X4 season provides the following aggregated data forthe hotel’s canoe and paddle…
A company is looking to launch a new product line, which requires new facilities to be used and at the moment has two planned products, called ‘Basic’ and ‘Super’. The cost per unit is planned as follows:                                                                                Basic                Super Direct materials                                                  £20                    £24 Direct labour                                                       £14                    £16 While using the absorption costing approach, the company uses machine hours as the basis to charge its production overheads. One unit of Basic will use 3 machine hours while one unit of Super will use 4 machine hours. The business sells these products at a price that gives a standard profit mark-up of 30% of full cost. For the coming year, the company expects to make and sell 8,000 units of Basic and 6,000 units of Super. If the company adopts the ABC approach, the details relating to the…

Limos Mfg. has been manufacturing furniture sets and is considering whether tomake or outsource its own seat cushions needed for its chairs. The expected priceof the cushions is P50 per unit.If it continue to produce the company would incur the following unit cost: Directmaterials P13, Direct Labor P15, Variable overhead 5, Fixed overhead (based onthe average production requirement of 10,000 units) P20 for a total of P53.Let us assume that materials and labor costs are expected to increase by 20% nextperiod. Factory overhead costs will remain the same, except that 40% of the fixedoverhead will be eliminated in case the company decides to buy the seat cushionsfrom other suppliers. Moreover, the facilities presently being used in the manufactureof seat cushions can be utilized to manufacture another part of the main product incase such facilities become vacant when the company decides to stop producing theseat cushions. The alternative use of resources would result into cost savings…
