Answer:

Ziegler Inc.

a) The variable cost per unit = $60

b) The total fixed cost = $30,000

c) The total cost for 1,660 units = $129,600

Explanation:

a) Production Data and Calculations:

Units            Total

Produced    Costs

3,300        $168,000

1,300           108,000

2,390          149,040

High-low method:

High 3,300        $168,000

Low  1,300           108,000

Diff.  1,000          $60,000

Variable cost = $60 ($60,000/1,000)

Fixed cost = $30,000 ($108,000 - ($60 * 1,300)

Total cost for 1,660 units:

Variable costs = $99,600 ($1,660 * $60)

Fixed cost =          30,000

Total costs =     $129,600
