SEPTEMBER 900 1500
A) 2,200
B) 750
C) 300

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) 750

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost using the high-low method is as follows:

But before that the variable cost per unit should be determined

Variable cost is  

=[ ($1,250 - $950) ÷ (2000 - 800)]

= $0.25 per ice cream

Now the fixed cost is

= [$1,250 - ($0.25 × 2000)]

= $750

hence, the option b is correct
