The cost data for Evencoat Paint for the year 2019 is as follows: Using the high-low method, express the companys maintenance costs as an equation where x represents the gallons of paint produced. Then estimate the fixed and variable costs. Predict the maintenance costs i190,000 gallons of paint are produced. Predict the maintenance costs if 81,000 gallons of paint are produced. Using Excel, create a scatter graph of the cost data and explain the relationship between gallons of paint produced and equipment maintenance expenses.
