Estimate both the variable costs per unit and the total monthly fixed costs using the high-low method. (Do not round Intermediate calculations.) 2 High-Low method. Calculation of variable cost per unit High-Low method - Calculation of fixed costs Total cost at the high point Variable costs at the high point Volume at the high point: Variable cost per unit Total variable costs in the high point Tot fixed costs Total cost at the low point Variable costs at the low point Volume at the low point Variable cost per unit Total variable costs at the low point Total fixed costs 2. Predict future total costs when sales volume is (a) 200,000 units and (b) 300,000 units. Sales (units) Predictions 200,000 300,000 Total
