Exercise 14.6 (Static) THE DIRECT LABOR COST CASE An accountant wishes to predict direct labor cost on the basis of the batch size (1) of a product produced in a job shop. Data for 12 production runs are given in the table below, along with the Excel output from fitting a least squares regression line to the data. Direct Labor Cost Data Direct Labor Batch Cost, ($1005) Size, 71 5 663 62 381 35 138 12 361 83 145 14 493 46 548 52 251 23 1024 100 435 41 25 772 Cheer
