Sales salaries and commissions are $10,000 when80,000 units are sold, and $14,000 when 120,000units are sold. Using the high-low method, whatis thevariableportion of sales salaries andcommission?

Answer:

the cost function will be as follows:

[tex]C_u = 0.1 u + 2,000[/tex]

Explanation:

We subtract high from low to sovle for the variable part:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&120000&14000\\Low&80000&10000\\Diference&40000&4000\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

We get hat 40,00.0 units generate cost for $4,000

we divide and get that 1 units generates $0.1 of cost

Now, we solve for the fixed component

variable cost 0.1

Total Cost 14,000

14,000 = 0.1 x 120,000 + B

14,000 =  12000 + B

Fixed Cost 2000
