Question
Chapter 2.A, Problem 2E
To determine
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.
Least-squares regression: The least-squares regression is a statistical tool to estimate production costs. The least-squares regression uses an equation to graph the fixed and the variable costs along with the regression line.
- Prepare a scattergraph using the data given and draw a straight line.
- Using the least-squares regression estimates; find the fixed cost and variable cost elements of etching costs.
- Compute the total etching cost to process 5 units.
