Assume that Broadway Floral does a regression analysis on the next year’s data using Excel. The output generated by Excel is as follows:
6.2-66 Full Alternative Text
Requirements
- 1. Determine the firm’s cost equation (use the output from the Excel regression).
- 2. Determine the R-square (use the output from the Excel regression). What does Broadway Floral’s R-square indicate?
- 3. Predict van operating costs at a volume of 16,000 miles assuming the company would use the cost equation from the Excel regression regardless of its R-square. Should the company rely on this cost estimate? Why or why not?
