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 4000 450 5000 550 5400 600 5900 700 6400 750 7000 compute b 1 and b 0 (to 2 decimals if necessary). b 1 b 0 complete the estimated regression equation (to 2 decimals if necessary). = + x what is the variable cost per unit produced (to 1 decimal)? $ compute the coefficient of determination (to 4 decimals). note: report r 2 between 0 and 1. r 2 = what percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 2 decimals)? % the company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. what is the estimated total cost for this operation (to 2 decimals)? $

In each of the following cases, find the unknown variable. ignore taxes. (do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) accounting unit price unit variable cost fixed costs depreciation break-even 20,500 $ 44 $ 24 $ 275,000 $ 133,500 44 4,400,000 940,000 8,000 75 320,000 80,000

Manipulation manufacturing's (amm) standards anticipate that there will be 5 pounds of raw material used for every unit of finished goods produced. amm began the month of maymay with 8,000 pounds of raw material, purchased 25,500 pounds for $ 15,300 and ended the month with 7,400 pounds on hand. the company produced 4,9004,900 units of finished goods. the company estimates standard costs at $ 1.10 per pound. the materials price and efficiency variances for the month of maymay were:
