Total Cost Production (units) April $119,400 281,300 May 92,000 162,800 June 99,000 238,000 Using the high-low method, the variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs are a.$0.41 per unit and $27,351 b.$4.14 per unit and $5,470 c.$2.30 per unit and $5,470 d.$0.23 per unit and $54,701

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total Cost Production (units)

April $119,400 281,300

May 92,000 162,800

June 99,000 238,000

To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (119,400 - 92,000) / (281,300 - 162,800)

Variable cost per unit= $0.231

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 119,400 - (0.231*281,300)

Fixed costs= $54,701
