Required:1.Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for custodial supplies expense. (Round the "Variable cost" to 2 decimal places.)

      Y= + X

2.Using the cost formula you derived above, what amount of custodial supplies expense would you expect to be incurred at an occupancy level of 14,800 occupancy-days?
