Use the following data for the 4th quarter of 2009:
month | activity volume (#units) |
total costs |
Oct | 80 | $5,870 |
Nov | 75 | $6,050 |
Dec | 105 | $7,550 |
Required:
a) Estimate fixed costs and unit variable costs using the high-low
method. (hint: should you use the observations with the
highest/lowest activity, or highest/lowest costs?)
FC=
unit VC=
b) Based on the estimates from (a), what is the cost of producing
107 units?
Answer:
variable cost per unit | y2-y1/x2-x1 |
(7550-6050)/(105-75) | 50 |
y2 is the total cost at highest level of activity | |
y1 is the total cost at lowest level of activity | |
x2 are the number of units/labor hours etc. at highest level of activity; and | |
x1 are the number of units/labor hours etc. at lowest level of activity | |
fixed cost = 7550-(105*50) | 2,300 |
b) cost of 107 units | |
107*50+2300 | 7,650 |

Use the following information to answer question 17 through 19: 17. Doherty & Puthoff, Inc. produces quality BGSU hats for fashion-conscious students. During the year, its highest and lowest production levels occurred in April and October, respectively. In April, it produced 6,000 units at a total cost of $120,000. In October, it produced 2,000 units at a total cost of $80,000. Using the high/low method of estimating costs, the average variable cost of producing a hat would be: a. $10.00...
