Answer:
fixed cost = 11.026,6
Explanation:
we will use the High-Low method to sovle for variable and fixed component of utilities:
We subtract the high form the low
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&2710&34712\\Low&2200&30255\\Diference&510&4457\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
510 hours generates 4,457 cost in utilities.
so variable cost:
4,457 / 210 = 8.74
Then we solve for fixed cost:
total cost = variable cost x Q + fixed cost
34,712 = 8.74(2,710) + fixed cost
fixed cost = 11.026,6
