The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per mile = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High miles - low miles)

= ($845 - $625) ÷ (3,350 miles - 2,250 miles)

= $220 ÷ 1,100 miles

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High miles × Variable cost per miles)

Sales (1,400 × $0.6)                                         $840

Less: Variable cost (1,400 × $0.2)                ($280)

Inventory turnover (No of times)=  8.37 times

Explanation:

<em>Inventory turnover days is the average length of time it takes a business to sell its inventory before replacement.</em>

= Average inventory /Cost of goods sold × 365 days

<em>Average inventory = (Opening Inventory + closing inventory)/2</em>

<em>Average inventory </em>

= (21,000 + 22,000)/2

= 21,500

<em>Inventory turnover in days</em>

(21,500/180,600) × 365 days

=43.597 days

Inventory turnover (No of times )

= Cost of goods sold/Average inventory

=  180,600/21,500

= 8.37 times
