Deep South Glass Company is exploring different prediction models that can be used to forecast machine maintenance costs. One independent variable under consideration is machine hours. Following are matching observations on machine maintenance costs and machine hours for the past six months: Month Machine hours Machine Maintenance costs 1 300 $20,000 400 $24,000 3 240 $17,000 4 370 $22,000 5 200 $13,000 6 225 $14,000 In a high-low model, which months' observations would be used to compute the model's parameters? 4 and 5 1 and 6 2 and 6 O 2 and 5
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?
Blanco, Inc. provides computer processing services and relevant data set up by the firm's management are shown below: No. of pages per hour, 20 No. or hours per month, 500 Variable costs per hour, Ph 30 Fixed costs per month, Ph10,000. For the month of May 2021 12,000 pages are generated in 450 hours. The actual variable costs totaled Ph13,200, while the actual fixed costs equaled the estimated amount. The total standard cost for May was ? Ph 25,000 Ph 27,500 Ph 30,000 Ph 31,500

(c) Suppose that 10, 6, and 8 hours of overtime may be scheduled in departments A, B, and C, respectively. The cost per hour of overtime is $18 in department A, $22.50 in department B, and $12 in department C. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the optimal production quantities if overtime is made available. What are the optimal production quantities, and what is the revised total contribution to profit? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Product 1 Product 2 Production 66.05 84.88 If required, round your answer to nearest whole number. Total Profit $ 3254 How much overtime do you recommend using in each department? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. If you answer is zero, enter "0". OT hours: Dept. Used A 8.00 B 2.67 C 0 What is the increase in the total contribution to profit if overtime is used? If required, round your answer to nearest whole number. 160
The management of Hartman Company is trying to determine the amount of each of two products to produce over the coming planning period. The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: Labor-Hours Required (hours/unit) Product 1 Product 2 Hours Available Department A B с 1.00 0.30 Production 0.20 Profit contribution/unit $30.00 0.35 0.20 0.50 $15.00 100 (a) Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Product 1 Product 2 38 50 (b) In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for overtime? - Select your answer - What is the upper limit of what you…
What are the estimated direct labor costs?
An engineering consulting firm measures its output in a standard service hour unit, which is a function of the personnel grade levels in the professional staff. The variable cost (cv) is $62 per standard service hour. The charge-out rate [i.e., selling price (p)] is $85.56 per hour. The maximum output of the firm is 160,000 hours per year, and its fixed cost (CF ) is $2,024,000 per year. For this firm, (a) what is the breakeven point in standard service hours and in percentage of total capacity? (b) what is the percentage reduction in the breakeven point (sensitivity) if fixed costs are reduced 10%; if variable cost per hour is reduced 10%; and if the selling price per unit is increased by 10%?
