1. If the coefficient of correlation for machine hours is higher than the coefficient of correlation for direct labor hours, then, it is more reasonable to use the direct labor hours as the basis for computing (estimating) total cost (Y=a + bx).

Directions: True or False

1. If the coefficient of correlation for machine hours is higher than the coefficient of correlation for direct labor hours, then, it is more reasonable to use the direct labor hours as the basis for computing (estimating) total cost (Y=a + bx).

2.  Relevant range assumptions: relevant range refers to the range of activity within which the identified cost behavior patterns are valid. Any level of activity beyond this range may show different cost behavior.

3. HIGH LOW POINTS METHOD- The fixed and variable elements from mixed cost are computed from two sample data points—the highest and lowest points as to activity level.

4. Scatter graph (Scatter Diagram) Method – All observed costs at various activity levels are plotted on a graph. Based on sound judgment, a regression line is then fitted to the plotted points to represent the line functions.
