LLX Cоrpоrаtiоn purchаsed а machine 5 years ago for $285,000 when it launched product P50. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model XX machine costing $340,000 or by a new model YY machine costing $325,000. Management has decided to buy the model YY machine. It has less capacity than the model XX machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product P50. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product P50 and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $325,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $310,000.

Supply cоsts аt LLX Cоrpоrаtion's chаin of gyms are listed below: Client-Visits Supply Cost March 11,649 $ 26,575 April 11,445 $ 26,438 May 11,977 $ 26,795 June 12,200 $ 26,944 July 11,709 $ 26,615 August 11,195 $ 26,271 September 11,989 $ 26,803 October 11,680 $ 26,596 November 11,828 $ 26,695 Management believes that supply cost is a mixed cost that depends on client-visits. Use the high-low method to estimate the variable and fixed components of this cost. Compute the variable component first. Then compute the fixed component, rounding off to the nearest whole dollar. Those estimates are closest to: Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.
