Step 1
The high-low method is used to differentiate the mixed cost. The mixed cost is the combination of fixed cost and variable cost. The variable cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the change in cost by the change in units and the fixed cost can be calculated by deducting the variable cost from the total cost.

The following manufacturing cost information per clock is available: Direct materials are $200, labor is $600, variable overhead is $50, and fixed overhead is $40 (based on planned production for the year of 1,200 clocks). Commissions are 10% of selling price, and fixed selling and administrative costs are $70,000. Guadalupe’s tax rate is 25%. A European company has asked Guadalupe to accept a special order for 400 clocks. Due to some minor design changes, the material and labor costs for the special order clocks would increase by 25%. Another production run would have to be scheduled for the special order, since the clocks are different from the regular clocks, at a cost of $2,200. In addition, Guadalupe would have to hire a temporary clerk to process the ISO and export paperwork for shipping to Europe, at a cost of $600.
