Answer: The average variable cost of producing a backpack is $15.

The formula for calculating the variable cost per unit using the high/low method is:

Average Variable Cost = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

where

y₂  : cost at highest level of activity

y₁  : cost at lowest level of activity

x₂  : number of units produced at highest level of activity

x₁  : number of units produced at lowest level of activity

Substituting the values from the question in the formula we get,

Average Variable Cost = \frac{110000 - 87500}{4000 - 2500}

Average Variable Cost = \frac{22500}{1500}

Average Variable Cost = 15
