Indirect Materials Cost Explained by Units Produced
Constant $15,685
Standard error of Y estimate $3,500
r2 0.7832
Number of observations 20
X coefficient(s) 10.25
Standard error of coefficient(s) 2.1876
Answer : C) Y=$15,685+$10.25X
Y=A+bX
a= Constant = Fixed cost = $15,685
b= Variable cost per unit = X-Coefficinet =$10.25
The Perize Corporation used regression analysis to predict the annual cost of indirect materials. The results...
An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. By collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. Consider the following sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation. Production Volume (units) Total Cost ($) 400 3,500 450 4,500 550 4,900 600 5,400 700 5,900...

The McGraw Company is accumulating data to be used in preparing its annual profit plan for the coming year. The cost behavior pattern of the maintenance costs must be determined. The accounting staff has suggested that linear regression be employed to derive an equation in the form of y = a + bx for maintenance costs. Data regarding the maintenance hours and costs for last year and the results of the regression analysis are as follows: (CMA adapted) Hours of...
The general manager of a chain of pharmaceutical stores reported the results of a regression analysis, designed to predict the annual sales for all the stores in the chain (Y) – measured in millions of dollars. One independent variable used to predict annual sales of stores is the size of the store (X) – measured in thousands of square feet. Data for 14 stores were used to fit a linear model. The results of the simple linear regression are provided...
The owner of Showtime Movie Theaters, Inc., used multiple regression analysis to predict gross revenue (y) as a function of television advertising (11) and newspaper advertising (C2). Weekly Gross Revenue ($1000s) Televison Advertising ($1000s) Newspaper Advertising ($1000s) 2.5 The estimated regression equation was y = 85.5+ 2.06x1 -0.37x2. The computer solution provided SST = 26, SSR = 24.356. a. Compute R2 (to 3 decimals). 0.937 Compute R. (to 3 decimals). b. When television advertising was the only independent variable, RP...
A magazine used the summated rating of 10 restaurants to predict the cost of a restaurant meal. For that data, SSR 132,502.37 and SST 143,937.29. Complete parts (a) through (c) a. Determine the coefficient of determination, r, and interpret its meaning. I (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret the meaning of It means that 96 of the variation in the cost of a meal Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Determine the standard error of the...
