    b) $0.40 per unit and $8,000.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the high-low method, the variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs is given below:-

    Total Cost Production Units

    April $120,000 280,000

    May $74,000 165,000

    June $90,900 230,000

    Using High Low method

    Variable Cost per unit = (High Cost - low Cost) : (High Cost Units - low Cost Units)

    = ($120,000 - $74,000) : (280,000 - 165,000)

    = $46,000 : 115,000

    = $0.40

    Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost per unit * Production unit

    = $120,000 - $0.40 * 280,000

    = $8,000
