Question: What percentage of the variation in overhead costs is explained by the independent variable
Answer: 82.8%
Explanation:
= 0.848 (84.8%), the explanation of variation in Y from the X regress
Question: What is the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours
Answer: $410,000
Explanation:
The equation resulting from this regression analysis is:
Total overhead = Estimated fixed cost + Estimated variable cost per labor hour x Labor hours
= Intercept estimate + Coefficient estimate on independent variable x 60,000 DLH
= 110000 + 5 x 60000 DLH
= 110000 + 300000
= 410000
Answer:
Jessica should consume more of good A.
Explanation:
Jessica spends all her income on two goods, A and B.
The price of A is $5, and the price of B is $7.
At the current consumption bundle, the marginal utility of A is 10, and the marginal utility of B is 21.
The total utility is maximized when the ratio of marginal utility and price of the goods consumed is equal for all the goods in the bundle.
The ratio for Good A
=
= 2
The ratio for good B
=
= 3
Since the ratio is higher for good B, the consumer should shift from consumption of good B to good A until the ratio is equal for both the goods.

Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost
Where,
- CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
- r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +
3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
