|[pic][pic]Sawaya Co., Ltd., of Japan is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate considerably from year to |

|year according to increases and decreases in the number of direct labor-hours worked in the factory. Total factory overhead costs (in |

|Japanese yen, denoted ¥) at high and low levels of activity for recent years are given below: |

|  |Level of Activity |

|  |Low |High |

|  Direct labor-hours |52,800      |70,400      |

|  Total factory overhead costs |¥233,040      |¥255,920      |

|[pic] |

|The factory overhead costs above consist of indirect materials, rent, and maintenance. The company has analyzed these costs at the |

|52,800-hour level of activity as follows: |

|  |

|  Indirect materials (variable) |¥58,080   |

|  Rent (fixed) |136,000   |

|  Maintenance (mixed) |38,960   |

|  Total factory overhead costs |¥233,040   |

|[pic] |

|To have data available for planning, the company wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements. |

 

|Requirement 1: |

|Estimate how much of the ¥255,920 factory overhead cost at the high level of activity consists of maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, it |

|may be helpful to first determine how much of the ¥255,920 consists of indirect materials and rent. Think about the behavior of variable |

|and fixed costs!) (Omit the "¥" sign in your response.) |

|  Maintenance cost |¥[pic]   |

|Requirement 2: |

|Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance where X represents the number of direct-labor hours. (Round variable |

|cost per unit to 1 decimal place. Omit the "¥" sign in your response.) |

|  Y = |¥[pic]   |+|¥[pic] X   |

| [pic][pic]The management of Archie Corporation would like to better understand the behavior of the company’s warranty costs. Those costs |

|are listed below for a number of recent months: |

 

|  |Product Returns |Warranty Cost |

|Required: |

|Estimate the variable cost per product return and the fixed cost per month using the least-squares regression method. (Do not round |

|intermediate calculations. Round your fixed cost to the nearest dollar amount and the variable cost to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign|

What is the cause of the difference between absorption costing net operating income and variable costing net operating income?

[pic]

|[pic] |Absorption costing includes variable manufacturing costs in product costs; variable costing considers variable manufacturing costs to be period costs. |

|[pic] |Absorption costing deducts all manufacturing costs from net operating income; variable costing deducts only prime costs. |

|[pic] |Absorption costing includes fixed administrative costs in product costs; variable costing considers fixed administrative costs to be period costs. |

|[pic] |Absorption costing allocates fixed manufacturing costs between cost of goods sold and inventories; variable costing considers all fixed manufacturing costs to be period costs. |

A disadvantage of the high-low method of cost analysis is that:

[pic]

|[pic] |It relies totally on the judgment of the person performing the cost analysis. |

|[pic] |It uses two extreme data points, which may not be representative of normal conditions. |

|[pic] |It is too time consuming to apply. |

|Requirement 4: |

|The net operating income for Year 2 was higher than for Year 1 under absorption costing, although the same number of units was sold in |

|reduction in costs. Is the above reason true or false? |
