Exercise 21-6 (20 minutes)
The scatter diagram and line of estimated cost behavior appear below.
Selecting 0 and 2,400 units sold as the activity levels yields $2,500 as the
estimate of fixed costs and the following estimate of variable costs per
unit:
Using the high-low method yields $2,500 as the estimate of fixed costs and
variable costs per unit of:

Using Excel® to estimate an ordinary least squares regression yields an
Exercise 21-8 (10 minutes)
(1) Contribution margin = Selling price – Variable costs
(3) The contribution margin of 20% implies that for each $1 in sales, the
company has $0.20 that contributes to fixed costs and profit.

Exercise 21-15 (30 minutes)
(a) Total expected variable costs
= Variable costs per unit x units produced and sold
*The $60 variable costs per unit is computed by determining (i) sales
price per unit and (ii) subtracting contribution margin per unit:
(b) To solve, set up a brief contribution margin income statement
