Jensen Tire Auto is deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). a. Develop a scatter chart with weekly usage hours as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between weekly usage and annual maintenance expense? b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the annual maintenance expense for a given number of hours of weekly usage. What is the estimated regression model? c. Test whether each of the regression parameters 0 and 1 is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? d. How much of the variation in the sample values of annual maintenance expense does the model you estimated in part (b) explain? e. If the maintenance contract costs 3,000 per year, would you recommend purchasing it? Why or why not?

The following information is available regarding the total repair costs of Alexander Design Company for six months of 2022: Units Produced Repair Cost January 1,500 $15,875 February 1,750 $16,500 March 1,000 $11,250 April 1,250 $15,250 May 1,875 $17,750 June 2,250 $20,250 Using the least-square regression analysis on Excel, construct a cost formula. Run a regression analysis on the data above and provide your response to the following three questions. Round decimals to the nearest tenth (i.e, two decimal points). (1) Provide the regression output and construct a cost model. (2) According to the cost model, what is the estimated total fixed cost? (3) According to the cost model, what is the estimated variable cost per unit?
Benson Corporation estimated its overhead costs would be $22,500 per month except for January when it pays the $153,120 annual insurance premium on the manufacturing facility. Accordingly, the January overhead costs were expected to be $175,620 ($153,120 + $22,500). The company expected to use 7,900 direct labor hours per month except during July, August, and September when the company expected 9,100 hours of direct labor each month to build inventories for high demand that normally occurs during the Christmas season. The company's actual direct labor hours were the same as the estimated hours. The company made 3,950 units of product in each month except July, August, and September, in which it produced 4,550 units each month. Direct labor costs were $24.70 per unit, and direct materials costs were $10.00 per unit. Required a. Calculate a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours. b. Determine the total allocated overhead cost for January, March, and August. c. Determine…
