Problem

The Lakeshore Hotel's guest-days of occupancy and custodial supplies expense over the last seven months were:

Month	Guest-Days of Occupancy	Custodial Supplies Expense
March	8,000	12,000
April	7,500	11,700
May	10,000	13,200
June	11,500	14,100
July	13,500	15,300
August	12,500	14,700
September	10,000	13,200

Guest-days is a measure of the overall activity at the hotel. For example, a guest who stays at the hotel for three days is counted as three guest-days.

1. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for custodial supplies expense.
