    Using High-Low method:x 1 = 1,125 (low units), x 2 = 3,000 (high units) y 1 = 38,000 (low cost), y 2 = 59,000 (high cost). Formula is: y = m x + b, where b represents Fixed costs. m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (59,000 - 36,000) / (3,000 - 1,125) = 11.259,000 = 11.2 * 3,000 + bb = 59,000 - 33,600 = 25,400y = 11.5 x + 25,400Answer: Total fixed costs are $25,400.
