- (Appendix 3A) Separating Fixed and Variable Costs, Service Setting Louise McDermott, controller for the Galvin plant of Veromar Inc., wanted to determine the cost behavior of moving materials throughout the plant. She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved? Try dropping the third data point (300, 3,400), and rerun the regression.arrow_forwardPlease give me directions for answer confirmation Ch 26 Pro 6 Identifying Activity Bases in an Activity-Based Cost System Select Foods Inc. uses activity-based costing to determine product costs.

The following information has been collected relating to the SIX (6) overhead activities: Activity Purchase Orders Quality Control Material Handling Setup Cost Cost $ 400 500 $ 275 000 $ 150 000 $ 50 000 $ 125 000 $ 240 000 $1240 500 The activity-based usage quantities for each product are as follows: Production Scheduling Procurement Number of Setups Orders 900 1 600 (2 marks) Number of Inspection 500 500 Number of Orders Executed Standard 300 750 Premium 200 1 250 Total 500 2.500 2 000 1 000 The company produces 5 000 units of Standard and 4 000 units of Premium calculated in (i.) above. iii.

- (Appendix 3A) Scattergraph, High-Low Method, Method of Least Squares, Use of Judgment The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed. The costs must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past 8 quarters have been collected: Note: For the following requirements, round the fixed cost to the nearest dollar, round the variable rates to three decimal places, and the R2 to two decimal places. Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scatter-graph show a linear relationship between machine hours and power cost? 2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula. (Note: Round answers to three decimal places.) 3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Rerun the regression, and drop the point (20,000, 26,000) as an outlier. Compare the results from this regression to those for the regression in Requirement 3.
