Concept explainers
Concept introduction:
Scatter diagram is used to depict a relationship between two variables and to spot trends and correlation and shows the following conclusion.
With increase in Y-axis variable with rise in X-axis variable, correlation will be positive.
With decrease in Y-axis variable with rise in X-axis variable, correlation will be negative.
If correlation is equal to zero, then, it will not be possible from above criteria.
Scattered diagram for the data with sales volume on a horizontal axis and the total cost on a vertical axis.
Concept introduction:
Scatter diagram is used to depict a relationship between two variables, spot trends and correlation and show the following conclusion.
With increase in Y-axis variable with rise in X-axis variable, correlation will be positive.
With decrease in Y-axis variable with rise in X-axis variable, correlation will be negative.
If correlation is equal to zero, then, it will not be possible to form the above criteria.
Variable cost changes with the level of production and fixed cost remain constant.
To explain:
The variable cost per sales dollar and the total monthly fixed cost using high −low method and a linear graph.
Concept introduction:
Scatter diagram is used to depict a relationship between two variables making it easier to spot trends and correlations and show the following conclusion.
With increase in Y-axis variable with rise in X-axis variable, correlation will be positive.
With decrease in Y-axis variable with rise in X-axis variable, correlation will be negative.
If correlation is equal to zero, then, it will not be possible from above criteria.
