00:01
In this case, you want to use high -low method computer variable cost per unit and total fixed cost.
00:08
So first of all, we're going to identify that low and high activity, lowest and highest activity level.
00:17
So high -low method.
00:26
So first of all, the highest activity is according to our table machine hours is 7 ,000 machine hours, which is february.
00:54
Which associate with the total cost of 60 ,000.
01:09
So the lowest activity is 5 ,000 hours, which is in april.
01:28
That would give you 54 ,000.
01:39
Now, let's calculate the variable cost per unit.
01:59
So the highest minus lowest, oh sorry, this is 66 ,000 minus 54 ,000 divided by the difference in the machine hour.
02:34
So the answer is 12 ,000 divided by 2 ,000 six per hour.
02:49
Now let's calculate the total fixed cost.
02:57
So the total fixed cost equals the variable or cost per unit multiplied by a number of mission hours, then plus the total fixed cost.
03:36
And then we know that the total cost in february, 66 ,000, variable, 6rm per hour, total hour, 7 ,000, this is make sure we know it's for february, and plus the total fixed cost, which we do not know...
