Corris Co. accumulates the following data concerning a mixed cost, using miles as the activity level. Miles Driven Total Cost January 10,000 $17,000 February 8,000 13,500 March 9,000 14,400 April 7,000 12,500 Compute the variable and fixed cost elements using the high-low method. (Round variable cost to 2 decimal places, e. g. 15.25.)

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Miles Driven Total Cost

January 10,000 $17,000

February 8,000 13,500

March 9,000 14,400

April 7,000 12,500

To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:

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

Variable cost per unit= (17,000 - 12,500) / (10,000 - 7,000)

Variable cost per unit= $1.5

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

Fixed costs= 17,000 - (1.5*10,000)

Fixed costs= $2,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 12,500 - (1.5*7,000)

Fixed costs= $2,000
