Hardison Incorporated manufactures glass for office buildings in Florids. As a result of age and wesr, a critical machine in

the production process has begun to produce quality defects. Hardison is considering replacing the old machine with $a$

new machine, either brand $A$ or brond $B.$ The manufocturer has provided Hardison with the following date on the costs of

operation of each machine brand at various levels of output:

Required:

Use the high$-$low method to determine the cost equation for each brand of machine and use the results to calculate the costs of

operating each machine if Hardison's output is expected to be $25,000$ square yords.

Using the high$-$low equations from requirement $2,$ calculate the costs of operating each mochine if Hardison's output is expected to

be $40,000$ square yords and then for expected output of $60,000$ square yords.

If Hardison's output is expected to be $40,000$ square yords, which machine should it purchsse? At $25,000$ and st $60,000$ square

yords?
