Assume that the activity base to be used is the number of billings per month. An analysis of data for the past six months shows the following:Number of Total Month Billings Cost January 4,200 $8,531 February 4,100 8,455 March 3,600 8,160 April 4,750 8,842 May 5,380 9,228 June 5,200 9,118 Management
