Kruka [31]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January $2,650 200

February 3,100 320

March 3,570 450

April 4,750 695

May 3,160 500

June 4,910 750

July 4,130 630

August 3,810 580

September 5,060 680

October 4,390 610

November 3,290 320

December 8,920 770

To calculate the variable and fixed components using the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:

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

Variable cost per unit= (8,920 - 2,650) / (770 - 200)

Variable cost per unit= $11

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

Fixed costs= 8,920 - (11*770)

Fixed costs= $450

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

Fixed costs= 2,650 - (11*200)

Fixed costs= $450

Now, the total cost if the machine hours equals 450:

Total cost= 11*450 + 450= $5,400

Finally, 750 hours:

Total cost= 11*750 + 450= $8,700
