Spring 2007 250,000$500,000

Fall 2004 300,000$530,000

Using the high low method, with student credit hours as the activity driver, what is the equation for facilities cost (FC) as a function of student credit hours?

( ) FC = $350,000 + $0.60 / student credit hour

( ) FC = -$585,100 + $1.67 / student credit hour

( ) FC = $1.77 / student credit hour
