Westerville company accumulates the following data concerning a mixed cost, using units produced as the activity level. units produced total cost march 10,079 $19,914 april 8,835 18,007 may 10,530 20,701 june 8,680 17,556 july 9,340 18,436 compute the variable cost per unit using the high-low method. (round variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places e. g. 12.25.) variable cost per unit $ compute the fixed cost elements using the high-low method. fixed cost $ estimate the total cost if the company produces 8,620 units. total cost to produce 8,620 units $

(i) $1.7 per unit

(ii) $2,800

(iii)  $17,454

Explanation:

(1) Variable cost per unit:

= (Total cost at high units - Total cost at low units) ÷ (high no. of units - low no. of units)

= ($20,701 - $17,556) ÷ (10,530 - 8,680)

= 3,145 ÷ 1,850

= $1.7 per unit

(2) Fixed cost = Total cost at 8,680 units - variable cost

                       = $17,556 - (8,680 units × $1.7)

                       = $17,556 - $14,756

                       = $2,800

(3) Total cost to produce 8,620 units:

= Variable cost + Fixed cost

= (8,620 units × $1.7 per unit) + $2,800

= $14,654 + $2,800

= $17,454

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.
