Answer a) The letter b is best described as the estimate of the cost for an additional customer visit.
Answer b) The letter y is best described as the observed store cost for a given month.
Answer c) The letter x is best described as observed customer visit for a given month.
Answer d) The estimated cost for 370 customer visits is
Y = a + bx
a =$ 687.65 b = $ 7.59 x = 370 customer visits
Y = $ 687.65 + ($ 7.59 * 370 customer visit) = $ 687.65 + $ 2,808.3 = $ 3,495.95
Answer e) The percent of total variance that can be explained by regression equation is R2 = 0.79754 or 79.754%
Answer:
the depreciation that should be charged over the useful life each year is $20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight line method is shown below:
= (Purchase cost of an equipment - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($135,000 - $15,000) ÷ 6 years
= $120,000 ÷ 6 years
= $20,000
hence, the depreciation that should be charged over the useful life each year is $20,000
Answer:
A. Multifactor productivity
Original Value of output 2500 un. x $200/un. = $500,000 Value of input 2500 un x $120/un. = $300,000 Multi-factor productivity $500,000/$300,000 = 1.67 Overtime Value of output 4000 un. x $200/un. = $800,000 Value of input 4000 un. x $144/un. = $576,000 Multi-factor productivity $800,000/$576,000 = 1.39 Multi-factor productivity (1.67 – 1.39) / 1.67 = 16.8% decrease
B. LABOR PRODUCTIVITY
Original Value of output 2500 un. x $200/un. = $500,000 Input = (100 people x 40 hr/person) = 4000 hours Labor productivity $500,000/4000 hr = $125/hr Overtime Value of output 4000 un. x $200/un. = $800,000 Input = (100 people x 72 hr/person) = 7200 hours Labor productivity $800,000/7200 hr = $111/hr Labor productivity ($125/hr – $111/hr) / $125/hr = 11.1% decrease
C.GROSS PROFITS
Original $500,000 - $300,000 = $200,000 Overtime $800,000 - $576,000 = $224,000
$24,000 increase
Answer:
$6.7 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Given:
Direct labor-hours = 20,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $94,000
variable manufacturing overhead = $2.00 per direct labor-hour
Actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year = $123,900
Actual total direct labor = 21,000 hours
Now,
Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead
= 94000 + ( 2 × 20000 )
= $134,000
And,
Predetremined Overhead Rate = 
or
Predetremined Overhead Rate = 
or
Predetremined Overhead Rate = $6.7 per direct labor hour
