Giving the following information:

Month Number of instruments used Total autoclave cost

January 634 $7,466

February 534 6,526

March 734 7,148

April 934 9,028

May 834 7,744

June 1,034 8,596

July 1,234 10,009

August 1,134 9,924

<u>To determine the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:</u>

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

Variable cost per unit= (10,009 - 6,526) / (1,234 - 534 )

Variable cost per unit= $4.9757 per unit

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

Fixed costs= 10,009 - (4.9757*1,234)

Fixed costs= $3,869

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 6,526 - (4.9757*534)

Fixed costs= $3,869

Total cost= 3,869 + 4.9757x

x= number of instruments

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

$1,395

Explanation:

Total cost of Inventory purchased

= (No. of units × Per unit price) + (No. of units × Per unit price) + (No. of units × Per unit price)

= (240 × 8) +(340 × 10) +(440 × 11)

= 1,920 + 3,400 + 4,840

= $10,160

Number of units purchased = 240 + 340 + 440

= 1,020

Average cost per unit = total cost /No. of units

= 10,160 /1,020

= $ 9.9608 per unit

Cost of ending inventory = 140 × 9.9608

= $1,395
