2016 | 2017 | |
Total costs | $207,360 | $406,600 |
Units produced | 26,000 | 60,000 |
Expected production in 2018 is 44,600 units. Using the high-low
method with the 2016 and 2017 data to determine the parameters of
the cost function, what are estimated total costs in 2018?
2016 | 2017 | ||||||
Total costs | $207,360 | $406,600 | High value | Change in costs | $199,240 | ||
Units produced | 26,000 | 60,000 | Low value | 34,000 | |||
Variable manfacturing over head = change in total costs / change In sales units | |||||||
199240/34000 | 5.86 | ||||||
Fixed manfacturing overhead = Total cost - Variable oh * Quantity | |||||||
4066600-(60000*5.86) | |||||||
55000 | |||||||
Total cost for 2018 | 44600*5.86+55000 | 261356 | 316356 | ||||
