For many years, college costs (including tuition, fees, and room and board) increases have been higher than the inflation rate,

averaging 5% to 8% per year. According to the College Board's Trends in College Pricing, the average total costs at present in dollars is $19,500 for students attending in-state four-year public colleges and universities and $41,000 for students at four-year private colleges and universities. Assume an additional $5,000 per year for textbooks, supplies, transportation, and other expenses.
Using a 7% per year inflation rate, how much can a sophomore high-school student expect to spend on in-state tuition, fees, and room and board for the freshman year (3 years from now) at a four-year public university?

Answer: $23,888

Explanation:

The cost today for a freshman at a public university is $19,500.

Inflation is at 7% a year and the period is 3 years from now. It is best to use a future value formula:

= Fees * ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 19,500 * ( 1 + 7%)³

= 19,500 * 1.225043

= $23,888

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

KonstantinChe [14]
One of the steps in solving this problem is this one:

As we know as shown above, the joournal entry for 2014 and 2015 will include the investment balance, increases and decreases to equity and intra-entity profits realized and deferred. Also the balance of the acquisition needs to be calculated.

Calculation of the book value of the purchase made as the book value of Company K times percent purchased:

400,000 * 0.40 = 160,000

Then, calculate the difference in the acquisition and the book value of the purchase:

210,000 - 160,000 = 50,000
