Binsey Ltd uses regression analysis to forecast future monthly costs. Using historic information the accountant has produced the following equation which will be used to predict future monthly costs: TC = 4Q + 600 Where Q is the number of units produced each month. Which of the following statements is correct? A Variable costs = $600 per unit, Fixed costs = $400 per month B Annual fixed costs = $48,000 C Annual fixed costs = $7,200 D Variable costs = $40 per unit, Fixed costs = $7,200 per month
Rearrange the formula and make it total cost = 600 + 4Q (y = a + bx), 600 represents monthly fixed costs of $600, so annual fixed cost = $600 x 12 month = $7200 and answer is C 😀
