    A: $120,000

    Explanation:

    Using the High-Low method:

    (Highest cost - lowest cost) / (highest unit - lowest unit)

    (156000-60000) / (60000-20000) = 2.4

    Fixed cost = highest cost - (variable cost per unit x highest units)

    Fc = 156000 - (2.4 x 60000)

    fc = 12000

    expected cost = (variable cost per unit x units) + fc

    (2.4 x 45000) + 12000 = $120000
