The Baker Company wants to develop a budget to predict how overhead costs vary with activity levels. Management is trying to decide whether direct labor hours (DLH) or units produced is the better measure of activity for the firm. Monthly data for the preceding 24 months appear in the file P13_40.xlsx. Use regression analysis to determine which measure, DLH or Units (or both), should be used for the budget. How would the regression equation be used to obtain the budget for the firms overhead costs?
A trucking company wants to predict the yearly maintenance expense (Y) for a truck using the number of miles driven during the year (X1) and the age of the truck (X2, in years) at the beginning of the year. The company has gathered the data given in the file P13_13.xlsx. Note that each observation corresponds to a particular truck. Estimate a multiple regression equation using the given data. Interpret each of the estimated regression coefficients. Also, interpret the standard error of estimate and the R-square value for these data.
Do the sales prices of houses in a given community vary systematically with their sizes (as measured in square feet)? Answer this question by estimating a simple regression equation where the sales price of the house is the dependent variable, and the size of the house is the explanatory variable. Use the sample data given in P13_06.xlsx. Interpret your estimated equation, the associated R-square value, and the associated standard error of estimate.

You work as a sales operations analyst in a company that makes 3D printers. Your manager has asked you to determine if a salesperson's sales volume (in terms of the number of 3D printers they sell in a year) depends on the number of client calls they make. After analyzing past data and creating a linear regression model, you've found the following relationship: No. of printers sold = 18.47 + 1.13 times the number of client calls. 1. Based on this, how many client calls will a salesperson need to make to sell 245 printers next year? a. 200 (rounds to) b. 215 (rounds to) c. 230 (rounds to) d. 240 (rounds to)
High-Low; Analysis of Regression Results Regression analysis is commonly used to estimatecosts. However, the usefulness of the results depends upon the quality of the data.Fletcher Inc. is a local delivery company. The employees handle deliveries for a variety of companies that have developed apps that allow customers to place orders for food, beverages, packages, etc.The controller of Fletcher would like to come up with an estimate of the cost behavior for the deliverycosts. Fifteen months of data were collected, and the data appear below.Using the high-low method, the controller did a quick calculation and estimated the variable andfixed portions of the delivery costs. A new employee in the accounting department, however, suggested that regression would give a much better estimate of the costs.Observation Delivery Costs Number of Deliveries1 $148,620 11,5402 150,980 12,1803 199,200 16,5604 143,100 11,6855 203,695 16,6856 183,065 14,8757 156,390 13,0108 193,440 13,0109 189,330…
Accountants at the Tucson firm, Larry Youdelman,CPAs, believed that several traveling executives were submittingunusually high travel vouchers when they returned from businesstrips. First, they took a sample of 200 vo uchers submitted fromthe past year. Then they developed the following multiple regressionequation relating expected travel cost to number of days onthe road (x1) and distance traveled (x2) in miles:y = $90.00 + $48.50x1 + $.40x2The coefficient of correlation computed was .68.a) If Barba ra Downey returns from a 300-miJe trip that took herout of town for 5 days, what is the expected amount she shouldclaim as expenses?b) Downey submitted a reimbursement request for $685.
