In this case, the slope coefficient is 0.60, which means that for every 1 unit increase in machine hours, there is a 0.60 unit increase in cost. The difference in machine hours is 50000, so the difference in cost is 0.60 * 50000 = $30,000.

Therefore, the actual difference in cost could be more or less than $30,000.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because it is the square of the slope coefficient. The square of the slope coefficient is a measure of the variance of the data points around the line of best fit. In this case, the square of the slope coefficient is 0.36, which means that the data points are relatively spread out around the line of best fit. This suggests that there is a lot of variability in the data, and that the actual difference in cost could be significantly different from $68,700.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because it is the product of the slope coefficient and the difference in machine hours. The product of the slope coefficient and the difference in machine hours is a measure of the change in cost for a unit change in machine hours.
