Johnson Leathergoods manufactures backpacks. The management accountant wants to calculate the fixed and variable costs associated with the leasing of a sewing machine. Data for the past four months were collected as follows:
MONTH | LEASE COST | MACHINE HOURS |
APRIL | $15,000 | 800 |
MAY | 10,000 | 600 |
JUNE | 12,000 | 770 |
JULY | 16,000 | 1,000 |
a. Using the high-low method, calculate the variable rate for the lease cost, the fixed cost of leasing, and write down the cost equation.
b. Using the scattergraph method, draw the graph and check for linearity and outliers.
Please find below the solution..
Month | Lease cost | MACHINE HOURS | |
APRIL | $15,000 | 800 | |
MAY | 10,000 | 600 | |
JUNE | 12,000 | 770 | |
JULY | 16,000 | 1,000 | |
High | 16000 | 1000 | |
Low | 10000 | 600 | |
Difference | 6000 | 400 | |
Variable cost = | |||
6000/400 | 15.00 | ||
Fixed cost = 16000-1000*15 | 1,000 | ||
Therefore cost equation = | $1000+Machine hr *$15 | ||

Using the high-low method to calculate fixed and variable costs, we have calculated our fixed costs to be $10,000 and our variable cost per unit to be $6.00. These calculations were based on a low activity level of 450 and a high activity level of 800. What is the equation for the line that most closely represents total cost at an activity level of 600? Multiple Choice О O Total Cost = $10,000 - ($6.00 x 600) Total Cost =...
