Transcribed Image Text:Using a scatterplot, it was determined that November represented a potential outlier.
After talking with the production manager, it was determined that the November
data point represented an anomaly and should be removed from the data set before
continuing with the cost analysis. The relevant range extends to 3,000 kayaks per
year. Using the high low method, which of the following statements is incorrect?
The annual fixed costs are expected to be $170,280.
If 200 kayaks are expected to be produced in a given month, the total estimated
costs would be $26,680.
For each additional kayak manufactured, product costs are expected to increase
by $56.00.
Monthly fixed costs would be $15,480 even with a change in the production
level.
If 2,000 kayaks are expected to be produced in a given year, the estimated total
variable costs would be $112,000.
