Jasmine Day, the management accountant at Bluedock Pty Ltd, has been analysing the relationship between truck maintenance costs and kilometres travelled for the period between January to December. She has collected the following information: Month Maintenance Kilometres Cost (S) 103,500 94,530 82,500 111,000 89,000 78,000 107,000 81,000 104,500 83,500 90,000 113,500 January February March April May June July August September October November December (Km) 33,210 31,000 27,050 39,000 30,110 26,500 36,200 24,000 35,000 29,050 32,000 36,000 Jasmine also ran a regression using the above data.
