The McGraw Company is accumulating data to be used in preparing its annual profit plan for the coming year. The cost behavior pattern of the maintenance costs must be determined. The accounting staff has suggested that linear regression be employed to derive an equation in the form of y = a + bx for maintenance costs. Data regarding the maintenance hours and costs for last year and the results of the regression analysis are as follows: (CMA adapted) Hours of January February March April May June July August September October November December Sum Average A coefficient B coefficient Standard error of the a coefficient Standard error of the b coefficient Standard error of the estimate R² T-value a T-value b Activity 480 320 400 300 500 310 320 520 490 470 350 340 4,800 400 49.515 0.12126 Maintenance Costs 4,200 3,000 3,600 2,820 4,350 2,960 3,030 4,470 4,260 4,050 3,300 3,160 $ $ 43,200 3,600 684.65 7.2884 34.469 0.99724 13.827 60.105 What is the variable cost per hour using the high-low…
