September.... 5,750 26,000
1.Prepare a scattegraph using the data. Plot cost on the vertical axis
and activity on the horizontal axis. Fit a line to your plotted points.
2.Using the quick-and-dirty method, what is the approximate monthly fixed
cost for X-Rays? The approximate variable cost per X-ray taken?
3.Scrutinize the points on your graph, and explain why the high-low method
would or would not yield an accurate cost formula in this situation.
I came up with, approx 15,000 fixed and 12,500 variable.
(27,500-15,000) is this accurate? also would like to see your graph to see if it resembles mine.
