The costs of a book printer for the last several months are as follows:
\table[[,\table[[Titles],[Printed]],\table[[Press Setup],[Cost]]],[May,25,$,3,295],[June,26,$,3,328],[July,38,$,3,813],[August,20,$,3,121],[September,36,$,3,732],[October,34,$,3,676],[November,35,$,3,678],[December,31,$,3,920]]
Management believes that the press setup cost is a mixed cost that depends on the number of titles printed. (A specific book that is to be printed is called a "title". Typically, thousands of copies will the printed of each title. Specific steps must be taken to setup the presses for printing each title-for example, changing the printing plates. The costs of these steps are the press setup costs.)
Required:
Estimate the variable cost per title printed and the fixed cost per month using the least-squares regression method. (Round the "Variable cost" to 2 decimal places and the "Fixed cost" to the nearest dollar amount.)
