Question

Jonathan Macintosh is a highly successful Pennsylvania orchardman who has formed his own company to produce and package applesauce. Apples can be stored for several months in cold storage, so applesauce production is relatively uniform throughout the year.

Required:
1. Use the high-low method to estimate the company’s energy cost behavior and express it in equation form.
2. Predict the energy cost for a month in which 26,000 pints of applesauce are produced.
