INFORMATION FOR COMPUTING COST ESTIMATES: Assume that Angora Wraps for next January estimates that it will produce 140 thousand Units of Product and expect 23 Paid Days. To Do: Calculate the 5 cost estimates using the 5 cost estimation equations youve developed from the High/Low (2), Simple (2), and Multiple Regression (1) worksheets. Document each of these cost estimates on each of your applicable worksheets.
