question 61

Multiple Choice

(Appendix 5A) The Blaine Corporation is a highly automated manufacturer. At an activity level of 6,000 machine setups, total overhead costs equal $240,000. Of this amount, depreciation totals $80,000 (all fixed) and lubrication totals $72,000 (all variable) . The remaining $88,000 of the total overhead cost consists of utility cost (mixed) . At an activity level of 9,000 setups, utility cost totals $112,000.
Assume that the relevant range includes all of the activity levels mentioned in this problem.
-If 7,800 setups are projected for the next period,total expected overhead cost would be closest to:

• A) $156,000
• B) $236,000
• C) $214,400
• D) $276,000
