The following information is available regarding the total manufacturing overhead of Bursa Mfg. Co. for a recent four-month period. Machine- Hours Manufacturing Overhead January 5,300 $ 310,000 February 3,200 224,000 March 4,900 263,800 April 2,700 190,000 a-1. Use the high-low method to determine the variable element of manufacturing overhead costs per machine-hour. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) a-2. Use the high-low method to determine 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

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
