Question
Chapter 2, Problem 11E
To determine
High-low method: The high-low method is a method of calculating the variable cost and the fixed cost of a product or service. The calculation of this method is based on the total production/activity cost and the lowest production/activity cost of the product during any period.
Variable Cost: The variable cost is a cost that changes when the volume of production changes, in the same direction and in the same proportion.
Fixed Cost: Fixed cost is a cost that remains constant irrespective of changes in the production volume.
Scattergraph: The scattergraph is a graph or a chart that represents the relationship between two variables for a given set of data.
- A scattergraph using the data given of Archer Company and comments on the relationship between the shipping expense and the number of units shipped.
- Using the high-low method, estimate the cost formula for the shipping expenses. Draw a straight line through the high and low data points shown in the scattergraph that you prepared in requirement 1 that intersects the Y axis.
- The accuracy of your high-low estimates based on the least-squares regression estimated fixed and variable costs.
- The factors, other than the number of units shipped, that are likely to affect the company's shipping expense.
