When using the visual-fit method to estimate a cost function, we can estimate the fixed cost by O the point where the sketched line (through all or most of the data points) intersects the y-axis O calculating the variable cost per unit of the cost driver O the point where the sketched line (through all or most of the data points) intersects the x-axis O subtracting the variable cost at any cost driver level from the total cost

Which of the following statements is true? Select one: a. The most complex of the cost estimation methods is the high-low method. b. In approximating the cost function, the account analysis classifies costs based upon an industrial engineer's evaluation of production methods, and material, labor, and overhead requirements. c. The high-low method is used to derive an estimated line of cost behavior by graphically connecting the two cost amounts identified with the highest and lowest volume levels. d. Engineering approach approximates cost function by classifying each account as either variable or fixed based on the analyst's knowledge of how the account behaves. e. The high-low method of deriving an estimated cost line uses all the data points
