March | 20,000 | 12,500 |
April | 8,000 | 11,000 |
Required:
1. Use the high-low method to estimate the variable cost per tour mile traveled and the fixed cost per month.
2. Develop a formula to express the cost behavior exhibited by the company’s maintenance cost
3. Predict the level of maintenance cost that would be incurred during a month when 22,000 tour miles are driven, (Remember to express your answer in terms of the real.)
4.Build a spreadsheet: Construct an Excel spreadsheet to solve all of the preceding requirements. Show how the solution will change if the following information changes: in March there were 21.000 miles traveled and the cost was 12,430 real.
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the solution.
