change in qty  = 2400 - 2300  = 100 units

change in cost = 4400 -4300 = Rs. 100

therefore VC = Re. 1 per unit

4400 = FC + VC

FC = 4400 - 2400

= 2000

VC=0.95/unit FC=2120 -------------------- Solve, 1400x+y=3450 and 2400x+y=4400, simultaneously. x is variable cost/unit and y is fixed cost. FC to be charged=25440 VC=22660

FC to be charged=25440
VC=22660

1400 x + y = 3450     ----> eqn (1)

2400 x + y = 4400     ----> eqn (2)

 

(2) - (1) gives

1000 x = 950

therefore x = 0.95

put x= .95 in1400 x + y = 3450

we get 1330 + y = 3450

therefore y = 3450 - 1330 = 2120

I hope you understood Sweta.
