Denver Manufacturing would like to do a better job budgeting for maintenance costs and, consequently, they have prepared a schedule showing maintenance costs and units produced for the past five months as follows:

Number of units produced
Total maintenance costs

January -------------
5,400
$4,800

February -----------
6,600
5,180

March --------------
4,900
4,500

April ----------------
5,600
4,900

May -----------------
6,000
5,490

Using the high/low method, what is the cost equation to predict total maintenance costs?

Y = $2,540 - $.40x.

Y = $2,540 + $.40x

Y = $4,500 + $.40x

Y = $4,500 - $.40x.
