For Cost of Sales Variable Cost per unit = (Difference In Cost Of Sales) / (Difference of Activity Units)

= (689040 - 610740) / ( 8800- 7800) = 78.30 per unit

Hence entire cost of sales are variable in nature

Now For Selling and Admin Overhead Variable Cost per unit = ( 444600 - 432000) / ( 8800 - 7800) = 12.60
