1. Use the five steps of the scattergraph method to estimate total fixed costs per month and the variable cost per machine hour. State your results in the cost equation form Y = f + vX by filling in the dollar amounts for f and v.
2. What would Castanza Companys estimated costs be if it used 50,000 machine hours next month?
3. What would Castanza Companys estimated costs be if it used 15,000 machine hours next month?
