Chapter 8, Problem 21P
The president of a small manufacturing firm is concerned about the continual increase in manufacturing costs over the past several years. The following figures provide a time series of the cost per unit for the firm’s leading product over the past eight years:
- a. Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data?
- b. Use simple linear
regression analysis to find the parameters for the line that minimizes MSE for this time series. - c. What is the average cost increase that the firm has been realizing per year?
- d. Compute an estimate of the cost/unit for next year.
