The following information is available regarding the total manufacturing overhead of Bursa Mfg. Co. for a recent four-month period:
| Machine- Hours | Manufacturing Overhead |
Jan. | 5,500 | $311,500 |
Feb. | 3,200 | 224,000 |
Mar. | 4,900 | 263,800 |
Apr.. | 2,800 | 184,600 |
a. Use the high-low method to determine:
1. The variable element of manufacturing overhead costs per machine-hour.
2. The fixed element of monthly overhead cost.
b. Bursa expects machine-hours in May to equal 5,300. Use the cost relationships determined in part a to forecast May’s manufacturing overhead costs.
c. Suppose Bursa had used the cost relationships determined in part a to estimate the total manufacturing overhead expected for the months of February and March. By what amounts would Bursa have over-or underestimated these costs?
