Using High$-$Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for Budgeted Output

Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past $8$ months were collected:

Month Labor Cost Employee Hours

January $$7,300330$

February $$10,199520$

March $$8,440640$

April $$10,087580$

May $$8,790450$

June $$7,831320$

July $$9,790540$

August $$7,750280$

Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost.

Total Labor Cost $=$ $$7212+($$$1\mathrm{.}92$ x Employee Hours$)$

Required:

Assume that $635$ employee hours are budgeted for the month of September. Use the total labor cost formula for the following calculations:

$1.$ Calculate total variable labor cost for September. Round your answer to nearest whole number.

$2.$ Calculate total labor cost for September. Round your answer to nearest whole number.
