The high and low levels of resource usage occurred in Septemberand March for three different resources associated with materials handling. The number of moves is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the activity output, as measuredby moves for the two different levels, are presented as follows: Required:1. Determine the cost behavior formula of each resource. Use the high-low method to assessthe fixed and variable components.2. Using your knowledge of cost behavior, predict the cost of each item for an activity outputlevel of 9,000 moves.3. Construct a cost formula that can be used to predict the total cost of the three resourcescombined. Using this formula, predict the total materials handling cost if activity output is 9,000 moves.
