Now determine the cost function for each cost. $($Enter all values in the same format as the general linear formula. If an input field is not used in the equation, leave the input field empty; do not enter a zero or select a label.$)$

Cost function

Maintenance y $=?+?$ per machine hour

Health insurance y $=?+?$ per unit shipped

Shipping costs y $=?+?$ per unit shipped
