Accounting

Nova Companys total overhead cost at various levels of activity are presented below:

Month Machine- Hours Total Overhead Cost
April 46,000 $ 184,460
May 36,000 $ 160,360
June 56,000 $ 208,560
July 66,000 $ 232,660

Assume that the total overhead cost above consists of utilities, supervisory salaries, and maintenance. The breakdown of these costs at the 36,000 machine-hour level of activity is:

Utilities (variable) $ 43,200
Supervisory salaries (fixed) 54,000
Maintenance (mixed) 63,160
Total overhead cost $ 160,360

Nova Companys management wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements.

Express the companys total overhead cost in the form Y = a + bX. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the "Variable cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)

Machine-Hour Fixed Cost
