Solution: Computations for Machine A
a) Variable cost = (Highest cost - Lowest cost) / (Highest output - lowest output)
= ($210,000 - 54,600) / (24,000 - 4,000)
= $155,400 / 20,000
= $7.77 per square yard
Fixed cost = Total cost - Total variable cost
= $54,600 - 4,000×$7.77
= $23,520
(b). Cost equation for machine A :
Y = $23,520 + $7.77 X
where, y = Total cost of machine
X = Output (square yard)
