Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units Produced Total Costs
101,500 $28,022,500
118,500 30,997,500
131,500 33,272,500
<u>To calculate the fixed and variable costs, we need to use the high-low method:</u>
<u></u>
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (33,272,500 - 28,022,500 ) / (131,500 - 101,500)
Variable cost per unit= $175
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 33,272,500 - (175*131,500)
Fixed costs= $10,260,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 28,022,500 - (175*101,500)
Fixed costs= $10,260,000
<u>Now, the total cost for 115,000 units:</u>
Total cost= 10,260,000 + 175*115,000
Total cost= $30,385,000
