13 Assume that a food division reported sales revenue of $337,218 and the bar-lounge reported
sales revenue of $206,682. Indirect costs of $52,400 are to be allocated to each division on the basis
of sales revenue.
Use the high-low method to calculate total fixed cost and total variable cost of the year.
High-low method
Variable cost per unit = Highest activity cost – Lowest Activity Cost
Highest Activity Units – Lowest Activity Unit.
Activity Units/Sales:
Highest (August : RM 27,400)
Lowest (January : RM11,200)
Activity Cost:
Highest (August : RM 10,100)
Lowest (January : RM 5,300)
Cost
Sales
= 4,800
16,200
= RM 0.30 per sales
Total Fixed Cost = Highest Activity Cost – (Variable Cost per sales x Highest Activity Unit)
= 10,100 – (0.30 x 27,400)
= 10,100 – 8,220
= RM 1,880 per month
