The management of Hamano Corporation would like for you to analyze their repair costs, which are listed below: Machine-Hours Repair Costs April 2,148 $ 33,102 May 2,177 $ 33,120 June 2,134 $ 33,097 July 2,214 $ 33,120 August 2,119 $ 33,030 September 2,230 $ 33,184 October 2,145 $ 33,071 November 2,225 $ 33,157 Management believes that repair cost is a mixed cost that depends on the number of machine-hours. Using the least-squares regression method, the estimates of the variable and fixed components of repair cost would be closest to: Multiple Choice $1.25 per machine-hour plus $30,387 per month $0.80 per machine-hour plus $31,953 per month $0.98 per machine-hour plus $30,978 per month 15.00 per machine-hour plus $33,917 per month
