Regression method |
The equation of a line is y=mx+b |
X= Hours |
y=total cost |
m= (N Σ(xy) − Σx Σy)/ (N Σ(x2) − (Σx)2) |
Month | Hours (x) | Costs (y) | x2 | xy |
January | 450.00 | 2,520.00 | 202,500.00 | 1,134,000.00 |
February | 600.00 | 3,100.00 | 360,000.00 | 1,860,000.00 |
March | 800.00 | 3,900.00 | 640,000.00 | 3,120,000.00 |
April | 400.00 | 2,400.00 | 160,000.00 | 960,000.00 |
May | 350.00 | 2,050.00 | 122,500.00 | 717,500.00 |
June | 300.00 | 1,900.00 | 90,000.00 | 570,000.00 |
Total | 2,900.00 | 15,870.00 | 1,575,000.00 | 8,361,500.00 |
N= number of months= 6. | |
m= | (N Σ(xy) − Σx Σy) |
(N Σ(x2) − (Σx)2) | |
m= | 6*8361500- 2900*15870 |
6*1575000- 2900^2 | |
m= | 50169000- 46023000 |
9450000-8410000 | |
m= | 4,146,000.00 |
1,040,000.00 | |
m= | 3.99 |
b= (Σy − m Σx)/N | |
b= | 15870- 3.99*2900 |
6.00 | |
b= | 15870- 11571 |
6.00 | |
b= | 4,299.00 |
6.00 | |
b= | 717.00 |
So fixed cost per month is $ 717. | |
Answer 3 b | |
Variable cost per hour is $ 3.99. | |
Answer 4 | Amount $ |
Hours in July | 300.00 |
Variable cost per hour | 3.99 |
Variable cost | 1,197.00 |
Fixed cost | 717.00 |
Total cost | 1,914.00 |
Final Answer 4 | Amount $ |
High Low method | 1,900.00 |
Regression method | 1,914.00 |
