Estimate both the variable costs per unit and the total monthly fixed costs using the high-low method. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Change in cost High-Low method - Calculation of variable cost per unit Cost at high point minus cost at low point Volume at high point minus volume at low point High-Low method - Calculation of fixed costs Change in volume Total cost at the high point Variable costs at the high point: Volume at the high point: Variable cost per unit Total variable costs at the high point Total 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
