Through cost analysis, Quartz Manufacturing Company has developed the following overhead cost formulas:
Overhead Cost Cost Formulas
Insurance $400
Depreciation $900
Maintenance materials $0.15 per machine hour
Utilities $600 plus $0.20 per machine hour
Based on these cost formulas, compute the total expected overhead cost if 1,500 hours of machines are worked.
Solution
NOTE:Total fixed cost and variable cost per unit do not change with change in units.
Hence total cost for 1500 hours=Insurance+Depreciation+Maintenance materials+Utilities
=400+900+(0.15*1500)+[600+(0.2*1500)]
which is equal to
=$2425.
