1. (2) The sales value of one unit of a particular product.
2. (4) Variable selling costs
3. (2) R5,00




𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑠−𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑠
Variable delivery cost per unit = 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡−𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡

𝑅217 500−200 000
=
19 500−16 000




=R5 per unit

4. (1) R720 000 (R120 000 x 6 months)



y=a+bx

using the Higher level : Fixed costs per month (a)

R217 500=a+R5(19 500)
R217 500=a+R97 500
R217 500 – R97 500 =a

a=R120 000



5. (4) R5,20

Σxy = aΣx + bΣx2
Σy = an + bΣx

129 810 960 000 = a626 400 + 10 899 360 000 b

265 260 000 = 51 000 000b

265 260 000/51 000 000 = 51 000 000b/51 000 000b
