Mears Production Company makes several products and sells them for an average price of $70. Mears' accountant is considering two different approaches to estimating the firm's total monthly cost function, 1) account analysis, and 2) high-low. In both cases, she used units of production as the independent variable.

For the account analysis approach, she developed the cost function by analyzing each cost item in June, when production was 1,600 units. The following are the results of that analysis:

Cost Item	Total Cost	Variable Cost	Fixed Cost
Direct materials	$6,720	$6,720	$0
Direct labor	$7,520	$7,520	$0
Factory overhead	$8,380	$5,440	$2,940
Selling expenses	$5,220	$1,760	$3,460
Administrative expenses	$4,350	$0	$4,350
Total expenses	$32,190	$21,440	$10,750

For the high-low method, she developed the cost function using the data from June above and data from August, when production was 2,400 units and total costs were $43,768.

After developing the two cost functions, the accountant used them to make predictions for the month of October, when production was expected to be 1,825 units.
