An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. by collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. consider the following sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation. production volume (units) total cost ($) 400 4000 450 5000 550 5400 600 5900 700 6400 750 7000 compute b 1 and b 0 (to 2 decimals if necessary). b 1 b 0 complete the estimated regression equation (to 2 decimals if necessary). = + x what is the variable cost per unit produced (to 1 decimal)? $ compute the coefficient of determination (to 4 decimals). note: report r 2 between 0 and 1. r 2 = what percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 2 decimals)? % the company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. what is the estimated total cost for this operation (to 2 decimals)? $

Statistical process control charts: a. indicate to the operator the true quality of material leaving the process. b. display upper and lower limits for process variables or attributes and signal when a process is no longer in control. c. indicate to the process operator the average outgoing quality of each lot. d. display the measurements on every item being produced. e. are a graphic way of classifying problems by their level of importance, often referred to as the 80-20 rule.

(30 total points) suppose a firm’s production function is given by q = l1/2*k1/2. the marginal product of labor and the marginal product of capital are given by: mpl = 1/ 2 1/ 2 2l k , and mpk = 1/ 2 1/ 2 2k l . a) (12 points) if the price of labor is w = 48, and the price of capital is r = 12, how much labor and capital should the firm hire in order to minimize the cost of production if the firm wants to produce output q = 18?
