Archer Company is a wholesaler of custom-built air-conditioning units for commercial buildings. It gathered the following monthly data relating to units shipped and total shipping expense:
Required
1. Prepare a scattergraph using the data given above. Plot cost on the vertical axis and activity on the horizontal axis. Is there an approximately linear relationship between shipping expense and the number of units shipped?
2. Using the high-low method, estimate the cost formula for shipping expense. Draw a straight line through the high and low data points shown in the scattergraph that von prepared in requirement (1). Make sure vow line intersects the Y-axis.
3. Comment on the accuracy of vow high-low estimates assuming a least-squares regression analysis estimated the total fixed costs to be $91071 per month and the variable cost to be $217.86 per unit. How would the straight line that yon drew in requirement 2 differ from a straight line that minimizes the sum of the squared errors?

L.L. Bean operates two factories that produce its popular Bean boots (also known as "duck boots") in its home state of Maine. Since L.L. Bean prides itself on manufacturing its boots in Maine and not outsourcing, backorders for its boots can be high. In 2014, L.L. Bean sold about 450,000 pairs of the boots. At one point during 2014, it had a backorder level of about 100,000 pairs of boots. L.L. Bean can manufacture about 2,200 pairs of its duck boots each day with its factories running 24/7. In 2015, L.L. Bean expects to sell more than 500,000 pairs of its duck boots. As of late November 2015, the backorder quantity for Bean Boots was estimated to be about 50,000 pairs. Question: Now assume that 5% of the L.L. Bean boots are returned by customers for various reasons. L. Bean has a 100% refund policy for returns, no matter what the reason. What would the journal entry be to accrue L.L. Bean's sales returns for this one pair of boots?
