Answer:

C = 1.75Q + 4,990

variable 1.75

fixed component 4,990

Explanation:

High-Low method:

we subtract the highest level of activity with the lowest one:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&44,360&82,620\\Low&19,962&39,924\\Difference&24,398&42,696\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

24,398 units generates 42,696 cost

with this information we can solve for variable cost.

42,696 / 24,398 = 1.75

Now we calcualte the fixed cost:

TC = variable x Q + fixed cost

82,620 = 1.75 (44,360) + fixed cost

82,620 - 77630 = 4990

the formula will be:

C = 1.75Q + 4,990
