    Thank you very much for your help.

    One more question.

    If the table shows:
    Overhead costs Output volume
    7000 9400
    5688 7600
    6334 8500
    5446 7300

    Here the lowest OC corresponds with lowest OL

    But what if:
    Overhead costs Output volume
    7000 8100
    5688 7600
    6334 8500
    5446 7300

    Please confirm, what is the the right way of arriving at VC:
    (8500-7300)/(7000-5446) and FC= (7000 – VC*8100)
    or:
    (8500-7300)/(6334-5446) and FC= (6334 – VC*8500)

    I listened to your lectures, but please explain, if I something is missed, because I am really confused, adding to this pre-exam stress, I might just not see the simple things.
    Thank you.

    Since the cost depends on the output volume, you take the highest and lowest output volume and the associated costs.

    So it is (8500-7300)/(6334-5446) and FC= (6334 – VC*8500)
