two facts about 401k are:
- It directly deducted from the amount of salary that you receive from your workplace, which would reduce your take home pay.
- The tax rate that you should pay is multiplied by your net income. When your income is deducted through 401k, the amount of your net income would be reduced along with your tax payment.

Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the number of equivalent units for direct material and conversion cost is shown below:
For materials
= units started and completed × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage
= (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 100%
= 23,240 units + 1,280 units
= 24,520 units
For conversion
= Opening work in process inventory × remaining percentage + units started and completed × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage
= 1,160 units × 70% + (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 60%
= 812 units + 23,240 units + 768 units
= 24,820 units
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%
