Q. 1)

In this case X should be replaced by 8,000 hours and then the equation should be solved to get the answer.

Y = 5,300 + 0.60 × 8,000

    = 5,300 + 4,800

    = 10,100

Answer: The required cost is $10,100.

Q. 2)

Fixed overhead should be in per-hour, and then this should be added to variable rate to get the required rate.

Required rate = (Fixed overhead / Hours) + Variable overhead per hour

                        = ($425,000 / 52,800) + $4.10

                        = 8.05 + 4.10

                        = 12.15 per machine hour (Answer)
