September	500	$ 10,100
October	550	$ 10,150

1. By looking at the Total Operating Costs and the Average Operating Costs Per Member, can you tell whether the club's operating costs are variable, fixed, or mixed?
2. Perform Regression analysis using Microsoft Excel. What is the monthly operating cost equation? What is the R-square?
3. Use the high-low method to determine the club's monthly operating cost equation.
4. Can we predict total montly operating costs if the club has 3,000 members?

Expert Solution

1.
The cost is mixed cost, since cost is increasing with increase in output but not with direct proportion

2. Cost equation = $3912.35 + $11.80 x
R Square = 0.8007

SUMMARY OUTPUT

Regression Statistics
Multiple R	0.894816
R Square	0.800696
Adjusted R Square	0.75087
Standard Error	278.0903
Observations	6

Residual	4	309336.8	77334.19
Total	5	1552083

	Coefficients	Standard Error	t Stat	P-value	Lower 95%	Upper 95%	Lower 95.0%	Upper 95.0%
Intercept	3912.354	1508.329	2.593834	0.060439	-275.438	8100.146	-275.438	8100.146
Number of Members	11.8029	2.944307	4.008718	0.016014	3.62819	19.9776	3.62819	19.9776

3. High low method
Variable cost per unit = ($10500-8900)/(560-450) = $14.55 per unit
Fixed Cost = 10500 - 560 x 14.55 = $2352

Cost Equation = $2352 + 14.55 x

4. Cost for 3000 members
using high low equation = $2352 + 14.55 x 3000 = $46002
using regression = $3912.35 + 11.80 x 3000 = $39312.35
