Answer #1

Variable overhead cost per unit = (Overhead cost for September - Overhead cost for May) / (Units produced for September - Units produced for May)
Variable overhead cost per unit = ($14,850 - $8,870) / (4,950 - 2,350)
Variable overhead cost per unit = $2.30

Fixed overhead cost = Overhead cost for September - Variable overhead cost per unit * Units produced for September
Fixed overhead cost = $14,850 - $2.30 * 4,950
Fixed overhead cost = $3,465

So, the total fixed overhead costs in December is $3,465
