Using high low method, variable cost per patient day = (Cost at high level – cost at low level)/Difference in number of patient days
= (10,400-9,200)/(3500-2500)
= $1.2 per patient day
Fixed cost = Total cost – variable cost
= 10,400 – 3500*1.2
= $6,200
Hence, cost at 2650 patient days = 6200 + 1.2*2650
= $9,380
