Answer:
Explanation:
a. In a regression equation expressed as y= a + bx, how is the letter b best described?
Here, b is the slope and best described as the estimate of the cost when there's a visit of an additional customer.
b. How is the letter y in the regression equation best described?
The letter y is the observed store cost for that particular month.
c. How is the letter x in the regression equation best described?
The letter x is the observed customer visit for that particular month.
d. Based on the data derived from the regression analysis, what are the estimated costs for 370 customer-visits in a month?
The estimated cost for 370 customer visit will be:
Y = a + bx
where,
a =$1496
b = $2.08
x = 370 customer visit
Y = $1496 + ($2.08 × 370 customer visit)
= $1496 + $769.6
= $2265.6
e. What is the percent of the total variance that can be explained by the regression equation?
The percent of total variance which the regression equation explain will be:
R2 = 0.86814 or 86.814%
Answer:
(a) Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares
= $22,500,000 ÷ 6,500,000
= $3.46
Price-earnings ratio = Stock price ÷ Earnings per share
= $72 ÷ $3.46
= 20.81
(b) Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares
= $22,500,000 ÷ (6,500,000 + 650,000)
= $3.15
R = (M0 - S) ÷ (N + 1)
= ($72 - $66.50) ÷ (7 + 1)
= $0.69
where,
M0 = current market price of Walker common stock
S = selling price per share
N = seven rights is needed to buy one of the new shares
Ex-rights price = Rights-on price - Rights value
= $72 - $0.69
= $71.31
Price-earnings ratio = Stock price ÷ Earnings per share
= $71.31 ÷ $3.15
= 22.64
