Variable cost= $73.50

Explanation:

The high low method is used to get the fixed and variable cost of a business activity given limited data. It involves taking the highest and lowest points, then comparing the total cost at these points.

We use the following formula

Variable cost= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity unit - Lowest activity unit)

Variable cost= (207,250- 97,000)/ (5,900-4,400)

Variable cost= 110,250/ 1,500

Variable cost= $73.50
