IENG 216 Overhead
Accounting Equation Owner Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Cost Behavior & Flexible Budgeting • Mixed costs are a function of fixed & variable costs Cost-Volume formula Y = a + bx where Y = mixed cost to break up x = a measure of activity (machine hrs) a = fixed cost component b = variable rate per unit x
High-Low Method Suppose we have the following:
High-Low Method X Y High 280 2480 Low 190 2330 Difference 90 150 Variable rate = 150/90 = $1.67 per DLH
High-Low Method Fixed Cost Portion Total Mixed - Variable = $2,480 - 1.67(280) = $2,012
High-Low Method Fixed Cost Portion Total Mixed - Variable = $2,480 - 1.67(280) = $2,012 Total Mixed Cost = $2,012 + 1.67 X
Least Squares Y = $1,900.27 + 3.054 x
