The following information was available about supplies cost for the second quarter of the 2011 year: Using the high-low method, what would be the variable cost per unit? Using the high-low method, what would be the total fixed costs? Using the high-low method, what would be the estimated cost of supplies at a volume of 1,000 units of production?

Explanation / Answer

a.Find the high and low for your data and subtract the low from the high. Then divide the cost by the # of tickets to get the variable cost per unit.


The high looks like December and the low is August
Costs: 230,000 - 155,000 = 75,000
Tickets: 32,000 - 17,000 = 15,000
VC Per Unit: 75,000 / 15,000 = 5
