Thane Company is interested in establishing the relationship between electricity costs and machine hours. Data have been collect

ed and a regression analysis prepared using Excel. The monthly data and the regression output follow: Month Machine Hours Electricity Costs January 2,000 $ 18,950 February 2,400 $ 22,100 March 1,400 $ 14,050 April 2,600 $ 24,100 May 3,300 $ 28,800 June 2,800 $ 23,100 July 3,600 $ 25,300 August 3,000 $ 23,300 September 1,500 $ 16,600 October 3,200 $ 27,100 November 4,200 $ 32,100 December 3,700 $ 28,300 Summary Output Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.960 R Square 0.921 Adjusted R2 0.913 Standard Error 1,545.17 Observations 12.00 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Lower 95% Upper 95% Intercept 7,465.99 1,566.61 4.77 0.00 3,975.37 10,956.62 Machine Hours 5.76 0.53 10.78 0.00 4.57 6.95 If the controller uses the high-low method to estimate costs, the cost equation for electricity costs is: (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

If the controller uses the high-low method to estimate costs, the cost equation for electricity costs is "Total cost = $5,010 + ($6.45 * Machine hours)".

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The data needed to estimate costs using the high-low method is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

Month          Machine Hours          Electricity Costs

January              2,000                           $18,950

February            2,400                           $22,100

March                 1,400                            $14,050

April                   2,600                            $24,100

May                    3,300                            $28,800

June                   2,800                           $23,100

July                    3,600                            $25,300

August               3,000                            $23,300

September         1,500                             $16,600

October             3,200                             $27,100

November         4,200                             $32,100

December         3,700                             $28,300

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of variable cost per hour

From the data above, the highest Machine Hours and Electricity Costs occur in November, while the lowest occur in March. Therefore, we have:

Variable cost per hour = (Highest Electricity Costs - Lowest Electricity Costs) / (Highest Machine Hours - Lowest Machine Hours = ($32,100 - $14,050) / (4,200 – 1,400) = $18,050 / $2,800 = 6.44642857142857

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required, we have:

Variable cost per hour = $6.45

Therefore, the variable-cost components using the high-low method is $6.45.

Step 2: Calculation of total fixed cost

The formula for calculating the total cost is given as follows:

Total cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost ................. (1)

Where;

Total Variable Cost = Variable cost per hour * Machine hours at a particular Electricity Costs

Using highest levels of activity and substitute into equation (1), we have:

$32,100 = Total Fixed Cost + ($6.45 * 4,200)

Total Fixed Cost = $32,100 - ($6.45 * 4,200) = $32,100 - $27,090 = $5,010

Therefore, the fixed-cost components using the high-low method is $5,010.

Step 3: Derivation of the cost equation for electricity costs

The cost equation for electricity costs can be obtained based on the total cost function given in equation (1) above, where:

Total Fixed Cost = $5,010

Total Variable Cost = Variable cost per hour * Machine hours = $6.45 * Machine hours

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Total cost = $5,010 + ($6.45 * Machine hours)

Therefore, if the controller uses the high-low method to estimate costs, the cost equation for electricity costs is "Total cost = $5,010 + ($6.45 * Machine hours)".

Zigmanuir [339]
The answer would be 8! This is because there were already five and then Jason got in, so six, and then two friends got in as well, so six plus two is eight!

Solve Quadratic Equations by Factoring:
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

  1. x = 0 or 1
  2. x = ±i/4
  3. x = -5 (twice)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring is aided by having the equations in standard form. The first step in each case is to put the equations in that form. The zero product property tells you that a product is zero when a factor is zero. The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero.

1. x^2 -x = 0

  x(x -1) = 0 . . . . . x = 0 or 1

__

2. 16x^2 +1 = 0

This is the "difference of squares" ...

  (4x)^2 - (i)^2 = 0

  (4x -i)(4x +i) = 0 . . . . . x = -i/4 or i/4 (zeros are complex)

__

3. x^2 +10x +25 = 0

  (x +5)(x +5) = 0 . . . . . x = -5 with multiplicity 2

If tge angle at the center is 62° and the radius is 12 cm.. find the length of arc​
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 12 cm

Theta = 62

Length of arc = \frac{theta}{360}*(2\pi r)

                      =\frac{62}{360}*2*3.14*12

                      = 12.98 cm
