    c. $52,670

    Explanation:

    The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

    Variable cost per desk = (High cost - low cost) : (Highest production - lowest production)

    = ($82,700 - $63,300) : (3,500 desk - 1,240 desk)

    = $19,400 : 2,260 desk

    = $8.58

    Now the fixed cost equal to

    = High cost - (High production * Variable cost per desk)

    = $82,700 - (3,500 desk * $8.58)

    = $82,700 - $30,030

    = $52,670
