    Hey there!

    I am doing Dec.2007 question- Edward Co. and i need help in calculating the fixed production overheads per unit if you could assist me in there.
    I managed to calculate variable overheads using the high low method.

    You say that you have calculated the variable overheads OK – they are $20 per hour.

    If you look at month 1, the total overheads are 620,000. The variable overheads total 19,000 x 20 = 380,000. So the fixed overheads in total are 620,000 – 380,000 = 240,000.
    (you can get the same figure by looking at month 2 instead).

    In a typical year, the work 240,000, or 240,000/12 – 20,000 per month.

    So the fixed overheads are 240,000 / 20,000 = $12 per unit.
