High-Low Method

Ziegler 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
585			$58,500
1,090			77,740
1,885			91,000

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

Variable cost: (Round to the nearest dollar.)	$ per unit
Total fixed cost:	$

b. Based on part (a), estimate the total cost for 890 units of production.

Total cost for 890 units:
