Chapter 5.A, Problem 3E
EXERCISE 5A-3 Cost Behavior; High-Low Method LO5-10
Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 11.4 cents per kilometer.

Required:
- Using the high-low method, estimate the variable operating cost per kilometer and the annual fixed operating cost associated with the fleet of trucks.
- Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a+bX.
- If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year, what total operating cost would you expect to be incurred?
