Answer #1
Answer:
Variable cost per unit
    = (Highest Total Costs (-) lowest Total Costs) / ( Highest Sales(-) lowest Sales
    =    ( $ 80,100 (-) $ 46,820 ) / ( 18,300 (-) 5,500 )Units
    =    $ 33,280 / 12,800
    =    $ 2.60 Per unit
Fixed cost =   Highest Total Cost (-) ( Highest Sales x Variable cost per unit   )
                       = $ 80,100 (-) ( 18,300 x $ 2.60)
                       = $ 80,100 (-) $ 47,580
                       =    $ 32,520
Fixed cost =    $ 32,520
