Summary of Variable and Fixed Cost Behavior

Cost In Total Per Unit

Variable Total variable cost is Variable cost per unit remains

proportional to the activity
level within the relevant range.
Fixed Total fixed cost remains the
same even when the activity
level changes within the
relevant range.
the same over wide ranges
of activity.
Fixed cost per unit goes
down as activity level goes up.

 Fixed Costs and Relevant Range

Example: Office space

is available at a rental
rate of $30,000 per year
in increments of 1,000
square feet. As the
business grows more
space is rented,
increasing the total cost.

 Account Analysis

Each account is classified as either

variable or fixed based on the analyst’s
knowledge of how the account behaves.
Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
 Engineering Estimates

Cost estimates are based on an evaluation

of production methods, and material, labor
and overhead requirements.

Irwin/McGraw-Hill © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000

 The High-Low Method
WiseCo recorded the following production activity and
maintenance costs for two months:

Units Cost
High activity level 9,000 $ 9,700
Low activity level 5,000 6,100
Change 4,000 $ 3,600
Using these two levels of activity, compute:
 the variable cost per unit;
 the fixed cost; and then
 express the costs in equation form Y = a + bX.

Low activity level 5,000 6,100
Change 4,000 $ 3,600

 Unit variable cost = $3,600 ÷ 4,000 units = $0.90 per unit

Units Cost
High activity level 9,000 $ 9,700
Low activity level 5,000 6,100
Change 4,000 $ 3,600

 Unit variable cost = $3,600 ÷ 4,000 units = $0.90 per unit

 Fixed cost = Total cost – Total variable cost
Fixed cost = $9,700 – ($0.90 per unit × 9,000 units)
Fixed cost = $9,700 – $8,100 = $1,600

Let’s put our

knowledge of cost
behavior to work by
preparing a
