Required information Problem 21-2A Cost behavior estimation LO P1 [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Alden Co.'s monthly unit sales and total cost data for its operating activities of the past year follow. Management wants to use these data to predict future fixed and variable costs. Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 Units Sold 323,500 168,500 268,500 208,500 293,500 193,500 Total Cost $ 161,000 104,750 209,100 103,500 205,000 115,500 Month 7 8 9 10 11 12 Units Sold 356,500 273,500 75,300 153,500 97,500 103,500 Total Cost $ 252,716 155, 250 61,500 134,125 97,500 78,150 roblem 21-2A Part 1 Estimate both the variable costs per unit and the total monthly fixed costs using the high-low method. (Do not round intermediate alculations.) 1. Estimate both the variable costs per unit and the total monthly fixed costs using the high-low method. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 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 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 Problem 21-2A Part 2 2. Predict future total costs when sales volume is (a) 383,000 units and (b) 423,000 units. Predictions 383,000 Sales (units) 423,000 Total $ 0 $ 0
