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
1,815			$344,520
3,400			422,610
5,115			535,920

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

Variable cost: (Round to the nearest dollar.)	$fill in the blank 1 per unit
Total fixed cost:	$fill in the blank 2

b. Based on part (a), estimate the total cost for 2,490 units of production.

Total cost for 2,490 units:
