Question
Chapter 2, Problem 5E
To determine
High-low method: High-low method is a method of calculating the variable cost and fixed cost of a product or service. The calculation of this method is based on total production/activity cost and lowest production/activity cost of the product during any period.
Variable Cost: Variable cost is a cost that changes when the volume of production changes in the same direction and in the same proportion.
Fixed Cost: Fixed cost is a cost that remains constants irrespective of changes in the production volume.
- Using the high-low method, estimate the fixed cost of electricity per month and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day.
- Factors those are likely to affect the variation in electrical cost from month to month other than occupancy-days.
