Management wants to use these data to predict future fixed and variable costs. Month Month Units Sold 321, eee 166, eee 266,000 206, eee 291, eee 191, eee Total Cost $158.5ee 102.25e 205,600 101, eee 202. see 113, eee LOOR Units Sold 359, eee 271,000 75,800 151, eee 95,000 101, eee Total Cost $270,736 152,750 64, eee 131,625 95, eee 88,650 Problem 18-2A Part 2 2. Estimate both the variable costs per unit and the total monthly fixed costs using the high-low method (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Change in cost High-Low method - Calculation of Variable Cost per unit Cost at high point minus cost at low point 283.200 Volume at high point minus volume at low point Minhalw method - Calculation of Fixed Costs Change in volume Problem 18-2A Part 2 2. Estimate both the variable costs per unit and the total monthly fixed costs using the high-low method. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Change in cost Change in volume High-Low method - Calculation of Variable Cost per unit Cost at high point minus cost at low point 283 200 Volume at high point minus volume at low point High-Low method - Calculation of Fixed Costs IS 270.736.00 359,000 units sold Total cost at the high point Variable costs at the high point: Volume at the high point: Variable cost per unit Total variable costs at the high point Total fixed costs Total cost at the low point Variable costs at the low point Volume at the low point: Variable cost per unit Total variable costs at the low point Total fixed costs
