- Weber Valley Regional Hospital has collected data on all of its activities for the past 16 months. Data for cardiac nursing care follow: Required: 1. Using the high-low method, calculate the variable rate per hour and the fixed cost for the nursing care activity. 2. Run a regression on the data, using hours of nursing care as the independent variable. Predict cost for the cardiac nursing care for September Year 2 if 1,400 hours of nursing care are forecast. Evaluate the regression equation. How comfortable are you with the predicted cost for September Year 2? 3. Upon looking into the events that happened at the end of Year 1, you find that the cardiology ward bought a cardiac-monitoring machine for the nursing station. Administrators also decided to add a new supervisory position for the evening shift. Monthly depreciation on the monitor and the salary of the new supervisor together total 10,000. Now, run two regression equations, one for the observations from Year 1 and the second using only the observations for the eight months in Year 2. Discuss your findings. What is your predicted cost of the cardiac nursing care activity for September Year 2?arrow_forwardUsing Regression to Calculate Fixed Cost, Calculate the Variable Rate, Construct a Cost Formula, and Determine Budgeted Cost Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page.

- Tom uses his computer to calculate the following regression formula:Weekly total costs = $18,791 + ($19.97 * Number of orders per week) Draw the regression line on your graph. Use your graph to evaluate the regression line using the criteria of economic plausibility, goodness of fit, and significance of the independent variable.

Explain briefly.arrow_forwardQuestion ENGINEERING ECONOMICS You want to launch a printing services business on campus. The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%. Is this alternative economically feasible based on IRR?arrow_forwardDeveloping an Equation from Average Costs Paradise Pub is a high-end dog hotel located in New York.
