Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is the one being predicted by the independent variable or variables. The cost to be predicted is the outcome or dependent variable, so B is the correct answer. A is incorrect because independent variable refers to the variable that may influence the dependent variable. C is incorrect because cost driver refers to the variable that causes or leads to changes in the cost. D is incorrect because regression is a statistical method used to find the relationship between variables, but it is not the variable being predicted.
