As a guideline, this question relates to high low method. If you have read the text book correctly, you will be able to solve the problem. Since the fixed costs increase after a certain level, you have to adjust the additional fixed costs. You can then work out variable cost per unit and the related fixed costs. To calculate overheads for 2600 units apply the variable rate and add the regular and additional fixed costs.
