Chapter 5, Problem 5ME

Defining Terms for the High-Low Method
Indicate whether each of the following statements about the high-low method is true or false:
a. The formula for the high-low method is ( Highest Cost - Lowest Cost ) ( Highest Activity - Lowest Activity )
b. The high-low method can be expressed as Change in Cost Change in Activity = Fixed Cost per Unit
c. The high-low method forces a he between the two most extreme activity data points.
d. The high-low method relies on the fact that the slope of a hit is calculated as “run” over rise.
e. When using the high-low method, the slope of the line is interpreted as the fixed-cost component of a mixed cost.
