Question
Chapter 2, Problem 8E
To determine
High-low method: High-low method is a method of calculating the variable cost and the fixed cost of a product or service. The calculation of this method is based on the total production/activity cost and the 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 constant irrespective of changes in the production volume.
Determine the following:
- Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation.
- Express the variable and fixed costs in the form
- The total cost incurred if a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year.
