Use the high$-$low method to determine the variable and fixed costs components of Lube $-$ for $-$ Less's operating cost equation.

First identify the formula and calculate the variable cost component $($slope$).($Round your answer to the nearest cent.$)$

$\backslash$table$[[,$Change in costs,$,$Change in volume,$=,$Variable cost per unit$],[$$$,5,000,,1,000,=,5\mathrm{.}00]]$

Next identify the formula and compute the fixed cost component $($the vertical intercept$)$ using the costs for the highest level of activity. $($Round your answers to the nearest whole number.$)$
