Do you mean variable cost is 20.956? "Production costs = 20.956 * 55,800 + 12319.71 = $1.18M" “Each widget also requires a variable cost of $20.30 to make.” Do you mean variable cost is 20.956?

“Production costs = 20.956 * 55,800 + 12319.71 = $1.18M”

I was going to write a follow up on using the Analysis tool-pak to calculate multivariable linear regression, so I thought I'd stick to one excel feature all the way through. I've since decided it'd be too obscure a post to be useful to 99.9% of people out there though....

The glories of the statistical primer. How to propagate error. Oh joy. You can do this sort of thing by using the LINEST command as well. Ah, this brings back fond memories of Ph3/5/7/77.
