The fixed costs will remain the same.

2. EZ Rental Car offers rental cars in an off-airport location near a major tourist destination in Florida. Management would like to better understand the behavior of the company’s costs. One of those costs is the cost of washing cars. The company operates its own car wash facility in which each rental car that is returned is thoroughly cleaned before being released for rental to another customer. Management believes that the costs of operating the car wash should be related to the number of rental returns. Accordingly, the following data have been compiled:
Month Rental Return Carwash Costs
January 2,310 10,113
February 3,200 9,340
March 4,530 11,590
April 4,500 12,580
May 3,400 14,700
June 4,800 13,500
July 3,540 10,450
August 4,604 11,430
September 2,800 10,500
October 3,670 9,290
November 4,500 11,500
December 2,500 12,530
Required:
Using least-squares regression, estimate the fixed cost and variable cost elements of monthly car wash costs. The fixed cost element should be estimated to the nearest peso and the variable cost element to the nearest cent.
