Answer:

1. Variable cost per unit = [Total cost at highest level - Total cost at lowest level] / (Highest level of unit- Lowest level of unit)

Variable cost per unit = [$309,120 - $198,720] / [3,795 - 1,495]

Variable cost per unit = $110,400 / 2,300

Variable cost per unit = $48

Fixed costs = Total cost at highest level - [Variable cost per unit*Highest level of unit]

Fixed costs = $309,120 - [$48*3,795]

Fixed costs = $309,120 - $182,160

Fixed costs = $126,960

2. Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

Total cost = $126,960 + $48*(1,900 units)

Total cost = $126,960 + $91,200

Total cost = $218,160
