The Mac Davis Company specializes in the purchase, renovation, and resale of older homes. Mac employs several carpenters and pai

nters to do the work for him. It is essential for him to have accurate cost estimates so he can determine total renovation costs before he purchases a piece of property. If estimated renovation costs plus the purchase price of a house are higher than the house’s estimated resale value, it is not a worthwhile investment. Mac has been using the home’s interior square feet for his exterior paint cost estimations. Recently he decided to include the number of openings—the total number of doors and windows in a house—as a cost driver. Their cost is significant because they require time-consuming preparatory work and careful brushwork. The rest of the house usually is painted either by rollers or spray guns, which are relatively efficient ways to apply paint to a large area. Mac has kept careful records of these expenses on his last 12 jobs:
House Square Feet Openings Cost
1 2,500 13 2,810
2 3,010 15 3,742
3 2,800 12 3,100
4 2,850 12 3,150
5 4,600 19 4,700

Required:
a. Using the high-low cost estimation technique, determine the cost of painting a 3,300-square-foot house with 14 openings. Also determine the cost for a 2,400-square-foot house with 8 openings.
b. Plot the cost data against square feet and against openings. Which variable is a better cost driver? Why?
c. Calculate a multiple regression model for predicting cost based on openings and square feet. Comment on the statistical reliability and precision of this model.
d. What are the sustainability issues for this company, and what is the role of cost estimation in this regard?

Llana [10]

Answer:

4284 persons

Explanation:

The new population of the town will be computed as:

Increase in population = Current population × Increase in population %

where

Current population is 4200 persons

Increase in population % is 2%

Putting the values above:

= 4200 persons × 2%

= 84 persons

So, the new population would be:

New population = Current population + Increase in population

= 4200 + 84 persons

= 4284 persons

Therefore, next year, there would be 4284 persons

Quinton wants you to calculate his biweekly paycheck. How much would he earn each pay period if he has an annual salary of $55,5
koban [17]
$2,134.62.

There are approximately 52 weeks in a given year, meaning that there are 52/2, or 26, biweekly pay periods. Therefore, we divide the annual salary of $55,500 by 26 biweekly pay periods to get $2,134.62 for the biweekly paycheck. 

The formula is the annual amount divided by the number of periods. Here, there are 26 periods of biweekly (once every two weeks) paychecks.

Explanation:

We should subtract from the revenue of the 200 sandwhich prepared and sold the variable cost to made the sandwhihc the loss for the lost sales and the proportional fixed cost considered are allocated among the 25 days which the restaurant is open.

200 x $15 dollars =             $ 3,000

28 x $5 loss sales:              $   (140)

variable cost: 200 x $4       $  (800)

proportional fixed cost:

(1,234 + 225) / 25 =          <u>   $ (58.36)     </u>

     profit for the day           $ 2,001.64
