Falcon Manufacturing, which uses the high-low method, reported total costs of $12.80 per unit at its lowest production level of 5,000 units. When production tripled to its highest level, the total cost per unit dropped to $7.90. Falcon Manufacturing would estimate its variable cost per unit as: a. $5.45 b. $17.20 c. -$0.001024 d. $7.90

Grand Canyon Manufacturing Inc. produces and sells a product with a price of 100 per unit. The following cost data have been prepared for its estimated upper and lower limits of activity: Overhead: Selling and administrative expenses: Required: 1. Classify each cost element as either variable, fixed, or semi-variable. (Hint: Recall that variable expenses must go up in direct proportion to changes in the volume of activity.) 2. Calculate the break-even point in units and dollars. (Hint: First use the high-low method illustrated in Chapter 4 to separate costs into their fixed and variable components.) 3. Prepare a break-even chart. 4. Prepare a contribution income statement, similar in format to the statement appearing on page 540, assuming sales of 5,000 units. 5. Recompute the break-even point in units, assuming that variable costs increase by 20% and fixed costs are reduced by 50,000.
Basel uses the high-low method of estimating costs. Basel had total costs of $50,000 at its lowest level of activity, when 5,000 units were sold. When, at its highest level of activity, sales equaled 12,000 units, and total costs were $78,000. Basel would estimate variable cost per unit as O a. $ 10 O b. $6.50 ○ c. $ 7.53 d. $4
