Month Machine hours Utility cost

January 950 $5,500

February 1,850 $7,000

March 2,500 $8,100

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

Variable cost per unit= (8,100 - 3,420) / (2,500 - 650)

Variable cost per unit= $2.53
