February ... 7,500 ... $13,500

March ... 8,500 ... $15,000

April ... 8,200 ... $14,490

    The answer is stated below:

    Explanation:

    Taking the highest and second lowest cost and miles driven as:

    Cost = Highest - Lowest

    Cost = $15,000 - $14,150

    Cost = $850

    Miles Driven = Highest - Lowest

    Miles driven = 8,500 - 8,000

    Miles Driven = 500

    So,

    = Cost / Miles driven

    = $850 / 500

    = $1.70

    Total Cost would be 15,000 and 13,500

    So, computing the variable cost as:

    Variable cost of highest cost (VC) = Miles driven of $15,000 cost * $1.70

    VC = 8,500 * $1.70

    VC = $14,450

    Variable cost of lowest cost (VC) = Miles driven of $13,500 cost * $1.70

    VC = 7,500 * $1.70

    VC = $12,750

    Computing fixed cost as:

    Fixed cost of highest cost = Total cost - VC

    = $15,000 - $14,450

    = $550

    Fixed cost of lowest cost = Total cost - VC

    = $13,500 - $12,750

    = $750
