Tools Are Us Corporation produces toolboxes used by construction professionals and homeowners. The company is concerned that it does not have an understanding of its utility consumption. The company's president, George, has asked the plant manager and cost accountant to work together to get information about utilities cost. The two of them accumulated the following data for the past 14 months (production volume is presented in units):
January
113,000 (Production)
$1,712 (utility cost)
February
114,000 (production)
1,716 (utility)
March
90,000 (production)
1,469 (utility)
April
110,000 (production)
1,600 (utility)
May

Required
A. Use the high/low method to determine the company's utility cost equation.
B. What would be the expected utility cost of producing 120,000 units? (The relevant range is 85,000 to 125,000 units of production.)
C. Using the data shown and a spreadsheet program, perform a regression analysis. Discuss any differences in the results and the potential impact on decision making. (Sawyers 114)
