coming year. He is also trying to determine how the company's profits might be increased in the coming year. This problem asks you to

mass-produce any of them.
Waterways markets a simple water control and timer that it mass-produces. Last year, the company sold 735,000 units at an average
unit selling price of $3.60. The variable costs were $1,852,200, and the fixed costs were $508,032.

- Friendly Bank is attempting to determine the cost behavior of its small business lending operations. One of the major activities is the application activity. Two possible activity drivers have been mentioned: application hours (number of hours to complete the application) and number of applications. The bank controller has accumulated the following data for the setup activity: Required: 1. Estimate a regression equation with application hours as the activity driver and the only independent variable. If the bank forecasts 2,600 application hours for the next month, what will be the budgeted application cost? 2. Estimate a regression equation with number of applications as the activity driver and the only independent variable. If the bank forecasts 80 applications for the next month, what will be the budgeted application cost? 3. Which of the two regression equations do you think does a better job of predicting application costs? Explain. 4. Run a multiple regression to determine the cost equation using both activity drivers. What are the budgeted application costs for 2,600 application hours and 80 applications?arrow_forwardAlyeski Tours operates day tours of coastal glaciers in Alaska on its tour boat the Blue Glacier.
