700

$41,550.00

3

680

$46,664.00

$43,765.00

6

710

$46,825.00

a)Prepare a scatter plot of machine hours and electricity costs

b)Are there any outliers in the data?

c)Use the high-low method to find the variable electricity costs and fixed cost of electricity each month.

d)If BC Logging Corp uses 740 hours of machine hours, what will total electricity costs be?
