Answer:

Home Remodeling Inc.

Using the high-low method, the unit variable overhead cost is calculated to be:

= $2.35 per machine hour.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Month     Overhead Cost     Machine Hours

January        $ 3,320               1,340

February         3,620               1,460

March             3,056               1,220

April                3,350               1,300

May                3,450                1,300

June              3,580                 1,370

Highest = February       $3,620               1,460

Lowest =  March           $3,056               1,220

Difference =                    $ 564                 240

Variable cost = $564/240 = $2.35

Using the February data, the fixed cost:

Variable cost = $2.35 * 1,460 = $3,431

Fixed cost = $3,620 - $3,431 = $189
