Question
E15-19. Scatter Diagrams and High-Low Cost Estimation
Assume the local Pearle Vision has the following information on the number of sales orders received and order-
Month | Sales Orders | Order Processing Costs |
1 | 3,300 | $90,970 |
2 | 1,650 | 55,412 |
3 | 4,840 | 132,770 |
4 | 3,080 | 90,090 |
5 | 2,530 | 76,752 |
6 | 1,320 | 47,410 |
7 | 2,200 | 68,750 |
Required
a. Use information from the high- and low-volume months to develop a cost-estimating equation for monthly order-processing costs.
b. Plot the data on a scatter diagram. Using the information from representative high- and low-volume months, develop a cost-estimating equation for monthly production costs.
c. What factors might have caused the difference in the equations developed for requirements (a) and (b)?

Using the high-low method, create the cost formula for C&C Yachts’ shipping costs. B. Prepare a scatter graph of the shipping data using excel. Then use the least-squares regression method to come up with the cost equation that represents the line of best fit. Comment on the accuracy of this equation and how it compares to your high-low method estimation. C. What would you estimate shipping costs to be if C&C Yachts shipped 10 yachts in a single month? Use the cost formula you obtained in part A. Compare this to the cost equation you came up with in Part B.arrow_forwardPlease answer all partsarrow_forward
