What is the predicted total cost of plant cleaning for the next quarter? 2. Suppose HiLine can hire an outside cleaning company to clean the plant as needed

Case Study Fixed and Variable Cost Behavior HiLine, Ltd. is a manufacturing facilities where keeping a clean working environment is important to them. The maintenance department has the responsibility for cleaning the plant. Two of the resources needed to clean the plant are labor and cleaning supplies. The cost driver for both resources is square feet cleaned. Plant cleaning laborers are paid the same wages regardless of the number of times the plant is cleaned.

The production schedule for the next quarter (August through October) indicates that the plant will need to be cleaned five, six, and eight times respectively In Excel 1.
