Isaiah Company uses a regression equation to analyze the behavior of its transportation costs (T) as function of travel time (H). They developed the following equation using two years' observation with a related coefficient of 85: T = 100,000 + P50H If 500 hours of travel time were logged in one period, the related point estimate of total transportation costs would be __________ 121,250 106,250 125,000 110,000

An engineer collected average cost and revenue data for Arenson’s FC1 handheld financial calculator.Fixed cost = $ 300,000 per yearCost per unit = $40Revenue per unit = $70 Show the sensitivity of profit to variation in revenue from $55 to $75 per unit using a $5 increment. Perform this analysis at two sales quantities: (1) the breakeven quantity for the collected data, and (2) 20% greater than this breakeven quantity. (Note: Be sure to use the original estimates for FC and cost per unit.)

Suppose the relevant carrying cost per unit per year was $20 and the relevant ordering cost per purchase order was $200. Suppose further that Alpha calculates EOQ after incorrectly estimating relevant carrying cost per unit per year to be $10 and relevant ordering cost per purchase order to be $400. Calculate the actual annual relevant total costs of Alpha’s EOQ decision. Compare this cost to the annual relevant total costs that Alpha would have incurred if it had correctly estimated the relevant carrying cost per unit per year of $20 and the relevant ordering cost per purchase order of $200 Calculate and comment on the cost of the prediction error.
