Explanation of Solution
The limitations from the preceding analysis and their related conclusion is that the used data models does not present a complete picture on the underlying cost behavior patterns. By observing the inspection of data provided and inspection of the graph, Machine A is preferred to Machine B to an estimated figure of 40,000 units.
The error that is found in the analysis is in using High Low method for the
It can be concluded that the application of a cost estimation method must be used with extreme precautions and the graph serves as an essential tool to identify any potential mistakes.
