Required information [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 Month 00 Units Sold 319,500 164,500 264,500 204,500 289,500 189,500 Total Cost $157,000 100,750 205, 100 99,500 201,000 111,500 Units Sold 360,500 269,500 76, 100 149,500 93,500 99,500 Total Cost $281,644 151, 250 65,500 130, 125 93,500 82, 150 10 12 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 Change in cost Cost at high point minus cost at low point Change in volume I Volume at high point minus volume at low point 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 Total variable costs at the low point Total fixed costs
