The budgeted overhead = $7,159.2

Explanation:

The budgeted Overhead cost can be determined as follow

The budgeted overhead = Fixed cost + variable cost

Fixed overhead cost = 170.00 + 4,310.00 + 2,340.00 = 6820

Variable cost per activity = (148.20 + 216.60) / 57 = 6.4 per guest.

The budgeted cost equation = 6820 + 6.4 x

Where X represent the number of guest

The budgeted overhead = 6820 + (6.4 * 53) = $7,159.2

The budgeted overhead = $7,159.2
