    Hi John

    Could you kindly help me to understand how Monthly fixed production overhead has been calculated?

    The answer provided shown:

    Monthly fixed production overhead $700,000 – (23,000x $20hr) $240,000 but I cannot see the logic.

    Thanks and Regards

    It is the high low method.

    The total overhead is 700,000. The variable overhead is $20 per hour and so the total variable overhead is 23,000 x $20. The rest of the overheads must be the fixed overhead per month.

    The free lecture on the high-low method will help you.
