Question
Chapter 2.A, Problem 4P
To determine
Variable Cost: 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: A 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 the production costs. The least-squares regression uses an equation to graph the fixed and variable costs along with the regression line.
- Prepare a scattergraph for the given data.
- Using the least-squares regression that estimates the fixed cost per term, variable cost per section and the cost formula.
- Compute the expected total cost for eight sections and explain any problem in using total cost formula to derive the total cost figure from the data given.
