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 4,300 450 5,300 550 5,700 600 6,200 700 6,700 750 7,300 a. Use these data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the total cost for a given production volume. Do not round intermediate calculations. Compute b1 and b0 (to 1 decimal). Do not round intermediate calculations. Complete the estimated regression equation (to 1 decimal). Do not round intermediate calculations. b. What is the variable cost per unit produced (to 2 decimal)? Do not round intermediate calculations. c. Compute the coefficient of determination (to 3 decimals). Do not round intermediate calculations. Note: report r^2 between 0 and 1. What percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 1 decimal)? Do not round intermediate calculations. d. The company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. What is the estimated total cost for this operation (to the nearest whole number)? Do not round intermediate calculations.

Problem 3-12A Contrasting ABC and Conventional Product Costs [LO3-2, LO3-3, LO3-4] Precision Manufacturing Inc. (PMI) makes two types of industrial component parts - the EX300 and the TX500. It annually produces 63,000 units of EX300 and 12,800 units of TX500. The company's conventional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company's two product lines is shown below: EX300 $369,325 $123,000 TX500 $165,550 $44,000 Total $534,875 $167,000 Direct materials Direct labor The company is considering implementing an activity-based costing system that distributes all of its manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below: Activity Activity Cost Pool Manufacturing (and Activity Measure) Overhead EX300 Machining (machine-hours) $227,650 93,000 Setups (setup hours) 180,600 6,006 Product-level (number of products) 91,080 General factory (direct labor dollars) 68,470 $123,000 TX500 64,000 330 Total 157,000 420 $44,000 $167,000 Total manufacturing overhead cost $567,800 Required: 1-a. Compute the plantwide overhead rate that would be used in the company's conventional cost system. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Predetermined overhead rate per DL$ 1-b. Using the plantwide rate, compute the unit product cost for each product. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) EX300 TX500 Unit product cost 2-a. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. (Round your Machining and General factory activity rates to 2 decimal places.) Activity Cost Pools Machining Setups Product-level General factory Activity Rate per MH per setup hr. [per product per DLS 2-b. Using the activity rates, compute the unit product cost for each product. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) EX300 TX500 Unit product cost

The income statement for Huerra Company for last year is provided below: The company had average operating assets of $21,000,000 during the year. Required: 1. Compute the company's ROI for the period using the ROI formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. (Round intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places. Enter your percentage answer rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).) 2. Consider each of the following questions separately and then compute the new ROI figure. Indicate whether the ROI will increase, decrease, or remain unchanged as a result of the events described. a. By using JIT, the company is able to reduce the average level of inventory by $400,000. (The released funds are used to pay off short-term creditors.) (Round intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places. Enter your percentage answer rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).) b. The company achieves a savings of $221 per unit by using cheaper materials. (Round intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places.) c. The company issues bonds and uses the proceeds to purchase machinery and equipment, thus increasing the average assets by $500,000. Interest on the bonds is $50,000 per year. Sales remain unchanged. The new, more efficient equipment reduces fixed production costs by $25,000 per year. (Round intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places.) d. As a result of a more intense effort by the sales staff, sales are increased by 25%; operating assets remain unchanged. (Round intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places.) e. Obsolete items of inventory carried on the records at a cost of $80,000 are scrapped and sold for 20% of the book value. (Use full amount of scrap while calculating average operating assets. Round intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places. Enter your percentage answer rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

00:02 600, 700, and 750 with costs of 4 ,300, 5 ,300, 5 ,700, 6 ,200, 6 ,700, and 7 ,300.
00:19 What we can do is zoom fit to see the plotted data.
00:24 And we can use these data to develop an estimated regression equation with desmos we're using b1 and b0.
00:36 Then b1 is the slope and b0 is the y -intercept.
00:47 And so with desmos, that's y1 is approximately ax, well, i should do this, right? b0 plus b1 x1.
01:00 Now i have to use x1 and y1 because that's the title of the data that it's pulling from.
01:06 And so now it says b1 to b0 to one decimal.
01:15 And b0 to one decimal would be 1546 .7 and b1 is 7 .6.
01:25 And so y hat would be equal to 7, 1546 .7 plus 7 .6x...
