For each cost item, indicate whether it would be variable or fixed with respect to the number of units produced and sold; and then whether it would be a selling cost, an administrative cost, or a manufacturing cost. If it is a manufacturing cost, indicate whether
it would typically be treated as a direct cost or an indirect cost with respect to units of product.

Pleasant View Hospital of British Columbia has just hired a new chief administrator who is anxious to
employ sound management and planning techniques in the business affairs of the hospital. Accordingly,
she has directed her assistant to summarize the cost structure of the various departments so that data
will be available for planning purposes.
The assistant is unsure how to classify the utilities costs in the Radiology Department because these
costs do not exhibit either strictly variable or fixed cost behavior. Utilities costs are very high in the
department due to a CAT scanner that draws a large amount of power and is kept running at all times.
The scanner can’t be turned off due to the long warm-up period required for its use. When the scanner is
used to scan a patient, it consumes an additional burst of power. The assistant has accumulated the
following data on utilities costs and use of the scanner since the first of the year.
Month

Scans
Utilities
Cost
January
130 $5,500 February
110 $4,500 March
100 $4,400 April
120 $5,000 May
190 $7,200 June
180 $6,800 July
90 $5,200 August
80 $4,400 September
70 $4,600 October
60 $3,300 The chief administrator has informed her assistant that the utilities cost is probably a mixed cost that will
have to be broken down into its variable and fixed cost elements by use of a scattergraph. The assistant
feels, however, that if an analysis of this type is necessary, then the high-low method should be used,
since it is easier and quicker. The controller has suggested that there may be a better approach.
Required:
1.
Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for utilities. Express the formula in the form Y = a
+ bX
. (The variable rate should be stated in terms of cost per scan.)
