Chapter 5.A, Problem 1E
EXERCISE 5A-1 High-Low Method LO5-10
The Cheyenne Hotel in Big Sky, Montana, has accumulated records of the total electrical costs of the hotel and the number of occupancy-days over the last year. .An occupancy-day represents a room rented for one day. The hotel’s business is highly seasonal, with peaks occurring during the ski season and in the summer.
Required:
- Using the high-low method, estimate the feed cost of electricity per month and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day. Round off the feed cost to the nearest whole dollar and the variable cost to the nearest whole cent.
- What other factors in addition to occupancy-days are likely to affect the variation in electrical costs from month to month?

- Problem 8-44 (Algo) Cost Estimation; High-Low Method [LO 8-3] Horizon BP in Antelope Park, Alaska, has noticed that utility bills are substantially higher when the average monthly temperature is colder. The only thing in the shop that uses natural gas is the furnace. Because of prevailing low temperatures, the furnace is used every month of the year (though less in the summer months and very little in August). Everything else in the shop runs on electricity, and electricity use is fairly constant throughout the year. For a year, Horizon has been recording the average daily temperature and the cost of its monthly utility bills for natural gas and electricity. Required: Use the high-low method to estimate utility cost for the upcoming months of January and February. The forecast for January is a near record average temperature of 5°F; temperatures in February are expected to average 40°F.arrow_forwardK Exercise 3-13A (Algo) Conducting sensitivity analysis using the equation method LO 3-5 Campbell Company currently produces and sells 7,200 units annually of a product that has a variable cost of $6 per unit and annual fixed costs of $309,600. The company currently earns a $72,000 annual profit. Assume that Campbell has the opportunity to invest in new labor-saving production equipment that will enable the company to reduce variable costs to $4 per unit.
