$\begin{array}{lrrr}\text { Variable }& \text { Coefficient } & \text { Standard Error } & \text { t-Value }\\\text { Constant } & \$ 1,004.65 & \$ 217.93 & 4.61 \\\text { Independent Variable } & \$ 22.99 & \$ 3.23 & 7.11\\r62=0.56\end{array}$ Number of horses:
$\begin{array}{lrrr}\text { Variable }& \text { Coefficient } & \text { Standard Error } & \text { t-Value }\\\text { Constant } & \$ 5,240.95 & \$ 1,180.40 & 4.44 \\\text { Independent Variable } & \$ 951.48 & \$ 271.85 & 3.50\\r62=0.63\end{array}$ What is the estimated total cost for the coming year if 15,000 trainer hours are incurred and the stable has 350 horses to be trained,based upon the best cost driver?
