Solution Summary

The solution gives detailed steps on calculating cost using high-low method and identifying the two key costs behavior assumptions.

Solution Preview

a.
Since per unit cost in July is 12000/5000=2.4, variable cost in December is 2.4*10000=$24,000

Since fixed cost does not chance from July to December, fixed cost in July is still $18,000

Mixed cost in December=total cost-variable cost-mixed cost=59000-24000-18000=$17,000

So the complete table is
July December ...
