Answer:

a.

VC/unit = $3 per unit

Fixed Cost = $800

b.

Total Cost = $25400

Explanation:

a.

The high-low method is used to separate the components of a mixed cost and it calculates the variable cost component in a mixed cost. The formula to calculate the variable cost per unit under the high-low method is as follows,

VC/unit = [Highest Activity cost - Lowest Activity Cost] / [Highest Activity units - Lowest Activity units]

VC/unit = [22400 - 6500] / [7200 - 1900]

VC/unit = $3 per unit

Using figures from March, The total fixed costs will be,

Fixed cost = 6500 - [3 * 1900]

Fixed Cost = $800

b.

Total cost in a month with 8200 units will be,

Total Cost = Total Fixed cost + Total variable costs

Total Cost = 800 + (3 * 8200)

Total Cost = $25400
