    A. $ 450 comma 000

    Explanation:

    In order to compute the fixed cost per month first we have to determine the variable cost per unit which is shown below.

    Variable cost per hour = (High total cost - low total cost) : (High production volume - low production volume)

    = ($710,000 - $550,000) : (13,000 units - 5,000 units)

    = $160,000 : 8,000 units

    = $20

    Now the fixed cost equal to

    = High total cost - (High production volume * Variable cost per unit)

    = $710,000 - (13,000 units * $20)

    = $710,000 - $260,000

    = $450,000

    We simply applied the above formula
