Cost Prediction
3. January Units for January
25,000 $ 78,162
20,000 $ 71,612
0 $ 45,410

The cost prediction of 0 units is similar to the fixed cost per month.

4. Fixed cost per month is estimated to be equal to $45,410.


June, July ,August, and September are closest to the predicted costs.
February, March, April, and May are the most efficient because
they are below the regression line that was projected in the chart.
The number of months that were projected as most efficient is
similar to those closest to the predicted costs whereas four months
early in the year are most efficient and four months after are
closest to the predicted costs. Moreover, the fact that there are
higher costs at the end of the year implies the need for the
company's attention.

It looks familiar since the answer for fixed cost


per month is also $45,410
