using the cost formula you derived above what total cost would you expect the 665044

Rapid Delivery, Inc., operates a parcel delivery service across the nation. The company keeps detailed records relating to operating costs of trucks, and has found that if a truck is driven 150,000 miles per year the average operating cost is 10 cents per mile. This cost increases to 11 cents per mile if a truck is driven only 100,000 miles per year. Assume that all of the activity levels mentioned in this problem are within the relevant range.

Required:

a. Using the high low method, derive the cost formula for truck operating costs.

b. Using the cost formula you derived above, what total cost would you expect the

company to incur in connection with the truck if it is driven 130,000 miles in a

year?
