Highest sales unit in february 9890 units
Highest cost in February = $182158
Lowest sales unit in June = 4350 units
Lowest cost $ 144763
Variable cost per unit = (Highest cost - lowest cost ) ÷ ( highest units - lowest unit)
($182158-144763)÷(9890 units-4350 units)
$37395÷ 5540 units= $6.75 per unit
Fixed cost = total cost - variable cost
Fixed cost = $182158-(9890 units *$6.75)
$182158-$66758= $115400
Cost function = Fixed cost + variable cost = total cost
$115400+(9890 units *$6.75)= $182158
