Adjustments to the base information shown: |
|
|
|
Included in July wages is a lump sum retroactive wage increase |
|
of $1,800 which would not normally be part of July wage cost |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In December, the restaurant catered a special Christmas function |
|
that brought in $3,400 in sales revenue and cost the restaurant |
|
an additional $900 in wages |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The December wage figure also included $1,400 in Christmas |
|
bonuses to the staff |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) Use the high low method to calculate the restaurant's |
|
|
monthly fixed wage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) If the following January's anticipated revenue is $46,500 |
|
what will be the anticipated wage cost? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) Use the regression analysis method to calculate the |
|
|
fixed cost component of monthly wages |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed Costs = |
(sum Y)(sum X2) - (sum X)(sum XY) |
|
