High-Low Method

Tashiro Inc. has decided to use the high-low method to estimate the total cost and the fixed and variable cost components of the total cost. The data for various levels of production are as follows:

Units Produced			Total Costs
3,480			$161,280
1,080			103,680
2,420			151,030

a. Determine the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost.

Variable cost (Round to two decimal places.)	$fill in the blank 1	per unit
Total fixed cost	$fill in the blank 2

b. Based on part (a), estimate the total cost for 1,640 units of production.

Total cost for 1,640 units:
