120 P1, 200
140 P1, 280
40 P480
100 P1, 040
Problem 1: Assuming 150 kilos of material usage is expected to occur next month, how much will be the estimated operations cost based on the cost function generated from high-low method?
Problem 2: Using the least squares method, the average rate of variability per kilo of materials used is
Problem 3: Using the least square method, the fixed portion of the cost is _________
Problem 4: Assuming 98 kilos of material usage is expected to occur next month, how much will be the estimated operations cost based on the cost function generated from least square method?
