    Variable cost per unit = $300

    Fixed cost = $1,750

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Month Maintenance Hours Maintenance Cost

    June 11 $ 5,050

    July 17 6,850

    August 13 5,650

    September 16 6,550

    October 22 8,350

    November 25 9,250

    December 7 3,850

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

    VCunit = (9250 - 3850) / (25 - 7) = 300 per hour

    Fixed costs = Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

    Fixed costs = 9250 - (300 * 25) = 1750

    Fixed costs = LAC - (Variable cost per unit * LAU)

    Fixed costs = 3850 - (300*7) = 1750
