Please correct Solution with Explanation and do not give image format Requirements1. Compute the linear cost function, relating total overhead costs to physician contact hours, usingthe representative observations of 210 and 260 hours. Plot the linear cost function. Does theconstant component of the cost function represent the fixed overhead costs of Reidyand Associates? Why?2. What would be the predicted total overhead costs for (a) 160 hours and (b) 410 hours using thecost function estimated in requirement 1? Plot the predicted costs and actual costs for 160 and410 hours.3. Dr. Reidy had a chance to do some school physicals that would have boosted physician contacthours billed to patients from 210 to 260 hours. Suppose Dr. Reidy, guided by the linearcost function, rejected this job because it would have brought a total increase in contributionmargin of $10,000, before deducting the predicted increase in total overhead cost, $15,000. Whatis the total contribution margin actually forgone? Data tableTotal OverheadCosts$88,000108,000109,000123,000135,000148,000Physician Contact HoursBilled to Patients160210260260360410

At what quantity of bags will profits be maximized? A Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
