Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

April $121,800 282,100

May 82,500 163,400

June 99,900 235,900

To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (121,800 - 82,500) / (282,100 - 163,400)

Variable cost per unit= $0.33

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 121,800 - (0.33*282,100)

Fixed costs= $28,707
