100,800 - 80,400 = 20,400 /-

At activity lever 5,200, the fixed cost is £ 80,000 as it is in the relevant range of 3,000 to 6,000 Units. For Activity Level 2,600, the fixed cost is £ 70,000 as it below the range of 3,000. The variable cost for all activity level remains same at any level of production which is £ 4 per unit. Thus when total costs are calculated for both level of productions, it comes to £ 100,800 and £80,400 respectively.
