➤ How can regression estimate cost behavior between output and costs?
Simple linear regression fits a straight line between cost (dependent variable) and output (independent variable). The slope estimates variable cost per unit and the intercept estimates total fixed cost. You should check linearity, independence, and homoscedasticity, and inspect residuals to ensure reliable parameter estimates.
