Answer:

a. $0.23 per unit and $48,701

Explanation:

Highest total cost (Ch)= $113,400

Most units produced (Uh) = 281,300 units

Lowest total cost (Cl) = $87,600

Fewest units produced (Ul) = 167,700 units

According to the high-low method, the variable cost per unit is given by:

[tex]V_c = \frac{C_h-C_l}{U_h-U_l}= \frac{113,400-87,600}{281,300-167,700}\\V_c = \$0.23\ per\ unit[/tex]

Using the month of April (highest production), total Fixed costs are given by:

[tex]FC = 113,400- (0.23*281,300)\\FC=\$48,701[/tex]

Calico Industries' variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs are, respectively, $0.23 per unit and $48,701.
