Answer:
Explanation:
Variable cost = (C1-C2) / (X1-X2)
C1 = Total cost at high activity level of 625,000 = $ 162,500
C2 = Total cost at Low activity level of 45,000 = $ 295,000
X1 = high activity level = 625,000
X2 = Low activity level = 45,000
Variable cost = ($ 295,000 - $ 162,500) / (625,000 - 45,000)
= $ 132,500 / 580,000 = $ 0.23
Fixed cost = Total cost at high activity level - variable cost * units
= $ 162,500 - 0.23 * 625,000
= 162500 + 143750
= $ 306,250
Equation 0.23x +306,250
