    If we’re multiplying 32.8572 x 1000 = 32,857.2
    And if we’re multiplying 6.7857 x 100 = 678.57

    The answer for ‘b’ in the notes and this lecture slide are written as 67.9 – which I really do not understand how?

      I know this is 5 years late, but new students can refer to this. The conversion of the formula from multiples is shown below:

      Original formula: y = 32.86 + 6.79x

      Where y = cost in 000s and x = units in hundreds

      Step 1: Convert the y-intercept (fixed cost)

      Original: a = 32.86 (in 000s)
      Converted: 32.86 × 1,000 = $32,860

      Step 2: Convert the slope (variable cost)

      Original: b = 6.79 (cost in 000s per hundred units) – remember that “b” is VC per unit and when we substituted the values we used values of y which were cost in 000s, and x = units in hundreds. Hence, we consider both multiples used, and say “cost in 000s/hundred units”
      Convert the 000s part:: 6.79 × $1,000 = $6,790 per hundred units
      Conver the hundred units part to a single unit: $6,790 ÷ 100 = $67.90 per unit

      Final formula

      y = 32860 + 67.90x

    I believe that b in the first example should have been 67.86 not 6.786, am i right?

      I had worked it out as 6.7857 x 00’s = 678.57?
