Question

High-Low Method The manufacturing costs of Rosenthal Industries for the first three months of the year follow:

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Variable cost per unit = High cost - Low cost / High volume - Low volume

Variable cost per unit = $355,880 - $228,780 / 4,960 - 1,860

Variable cost per unit = $127,100 / 3,100

Variable cost per unit = $41

b. Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

$228,780 = Fixed cost + (1,860 * $41)

$228,780 = Fixed cost + $76,260

Fixed cost = $228,780 - $76,260

Fixed cost = $152,520
