Donna Company would like to estimate the variable and fixed components of its maintenance costs and has compiled the following data for the last five months of operations: 
Labor Hours Maintenance Cost 
January 190 P677 
February 120 P593 
March 170 P646 
April 110 P623 
May 100 P582 


Required: 
[a] Using the high-low method of analysis, how much is the estimated variable cost per labor hour for maintenance? 
[b] Using the high-low method of analysis, how much is the estimated total fixed cost per month? 
[c] Using high-low, compute for the expected maintenance cost for June if expected labor hours is 150 hours. 
[d] Using the least-squares regression method, how much is the estimated variable cost per labor hour for maintenance? 
[e] Using the least-squares regression method, how much is the estimated total fixed cost per month for maintenance? 
[f] Using the least-squares regression method, compute for the expected maintenance cost for June if expected labor hours is 150 hours. 
[g] Using the least-squares regression equation, where is the total maintenance cost for March located with respect to the regression line?
