Georgie · Answer 1

Variable cost Per Unit $2.50

Explanation:

Total cost at high activity = $8100

Total Cost at Low activity = $3600

Total Units at high activity = 2400

Total Units at low Activity = 600

Variable Cost Per Unit = (High activity total Cost - Low activity total cost) / (High Activity unit - low activity units)

Variable cost per unit = ($8100 - $3600) / (2400 - 600) = $4500 / 1800 = $2.50
