Is it necessary to do a high-low method for every cost like variable cost and stepped fixed cost? or should I focus only on the semi-variable
January 30, 2021 at 9:38 am #608558The high-low method is only relevant for semi-variable costs!!
It is irrelevant when costs of purely variable or are purely fixed (even if stepped fixed).
January 31, 2021 at 4:22 am #608616yes, but going through Kaplan they have mentioned the methods for variable cost and stepped fixed
January 31, 2021 at 8:42 am #608636I think that you have misunderstood what the book has written.
The whole purpose (and the only purpose) of the high/low method is to separate out the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost when looking at semi-variable costs.
I suggest that you watch my free lectures on this. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well. If you are watching the lectures then you do not really need the Study Text.
The book that is essential, regardless of how you choose to study, is the Exam Kit because it is full of exam standard questions for practice, and practice is vital to passing the exam.January 31, 2021 at 9:56 am #608648surely sir just rewatched the lecture now got my doubt cleared. thank you for your help sir
