Rio Bus Tours has incurred the following bus maintenance costs during the recent tourist season. (The real is Brazil’s national
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

1. Variable cost = $0.125/mile and Fixed cost = $16,225

2. x = $16,225 + $0.125 × y

3. total maintenance cost = $21,600

Explanation:

Requirement 1

We know,

Variable cost using high-low method = (Total highest cost - Total lowest cost) ÷ (Highest activity - Lowest activity)

Given,

Highest activity = 31,400 miles (March)

Lowest activity = 13,400 miles (April)

Total highest cost = $20,150 (March)

Total lowest cost = $17,900 (April)

Therefore,

Variable cost using high-low method = ($20,150 - $17,900) ÷ (31,400 - 13,400) miles

Variable cost using high-low method = $2,250 ÷ 18,000 miles

Variable cost using high-low method = $0.125 per mile

Again,

we know, Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

Using highest total cost and highest activities,

$20,150 = Fixed cost + $0.125 × 31,400 miles

or, $20,150 = Fixed cost + $3,925

or, Fixed cost = $20,150 - $3,925

Fixed cost = $16,225

Requirement 2 and 3

Requirement 2

The formula to express the cost behavior exhibited by the company's maintenance cost =

Let,

Total cost = x

Traveled by Tour Buses = y

As the fixed cost is fixed, the formula to express the answer =

x = $16,225 + $0.125 × y

It means, total cost = fixed cost + variable cost per miles driven.

Requirement 3

The level of maintenance cost that would be incurred during a month when 43,000 tour miles are driven =

total cost = fixed cost + variable cost per miles driven.

or, total cost = $16,225 + $0.125 × 43,000 miles

Total cost = $16,225 + $5,375

Therefore, total maintenance cost = $21,600

Marianna [84]

Answer:

variable overhead efficiency variance= $22,780 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard hours per unit of output 7.0 hours

Standard variable overhead rate $ 13.40 per hour

Actual hours 2,725 hours

The actual output of 150 units

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Standard quantity= 150*7= 1,050 hours

variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,050 - 2,750)*13.4

variable overhead efficiency variance= $22,780 unfavorable
