** Table with proper format is attached **

Level of Activity
March - Low June - High

Number of units produced 8,700 11,600
Cost of goods manufactured $301,900 $413,500
Work in process inventory, beginning $13,600 $21,400
Work in process inventory, ending $25,800 $14,800
Direct materials cost per unit $14 $14
Direct labor cost per unit $4 $4
Manufacturing overhead cost, total ? ?

The company's manufacturing overhead cost consists of both variable and fixed cost elements. To have data available for planning, management wants to determine how much of the overhead cost is variable with units produced and how much of it is fixed per month.

Requirement 1:

For both March and June, estimate the amount of manufacturing overhead cost added to production. The company had no under-applied or over-applied overhead in either month. (Hint: A useful way to proceed might be to construct a schedule of cost of goods manufactured.) (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Requirement 2:

Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for manufacturing overhead where X represents the number of units produced. (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Requirement 3:

If 9,200 units are produced during a month, what would be the cost of goods manufactured? (Assume that work in process inventories do not change and that there is no under-applied or over-applied overhead cost for the month.) (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
