Cost Estimation, High-Low Method Albedo Inc. manufactures high-end replacement telescope lenses for amateur and professional astronomers that are seeking to upgrade the performance of their telescopes. You have just become employed as a staff accountant at Albedo and Jordan Coleman, the controller, has asked you to help with maintenance cost estimation for the lens manufacturing process. You review the manufacturing process and decide that the best cost driver for maintenance costs is machine-hours. These data are from the previous fiscal year for maintenance expense and machine-hours:
Month | Maintenance Cost | Machine-Hours |
1 | $3,210 | 2,750 |
2 | 4,650 | 3,900 |
3 | 5,175 | 4,050 |
4 | 3,350 | 2,690 |
5 | 3,100 | 2,500 |
6 | 2,950 | 2,580 |
7 | 2,900 | 2,300 |
8 | 2,900 | 2,500 |
9 | 4,120 | 3,160 |
10 | 4,350 | 3,325 |
11 | 3,500 | 2,780 |
12 | 3,775 | 3,000 |
