Two years ago, Luisa Mellina, Ginnians partner in charge of operations, became concerned about the amount of audit time required by not-for-profit entities. As a result, she instituted a series of training programs focusing on the auditing of not-forprofit entities. Now, she would like to see if the training seemed to work. So, she ran a multiple regression on 22 months of data for Ginnian for three variables: the total monthly cost of audit professional time, the number of not-for-profit audits, and the hours of training in the audit of not-for-profit entities. The following printout was obtained: Required: 1. Write out the cost equation for Ginnians audit professional time. 2. If Ginnian expects to have 9 audits of not-for-profits next month and expects that audit professionals will have a total of 130 hours of not-for-profit training, what is the anticipated cost of professional time? 3. Are the hours spent auditing not-for-profit entities positively or negatively correlated with audit professional costs? Is percentage of experienced team members positively or negatively correlated with audit professional cost? 4. What does R2 mean in this equation? Overall, what is your evaluation of the cost equation that was developed for the cost of audit professionals?arrow_forward

Saturday afternoon they reviewed the thick file of last year’s documentation, and they both remembered too well the six days they spent last year on accounts payable.Last year, Clark had suggested that they mail confirmations to 100 of Marlboro’s suppliers.

Clark’s sample of 100 was designed to include accountswith large balances. In fact, the 100 accounts confirmed last year covered 80 percent of the total dollars in accounts payable.

Nonresponding accounts were investigated by comparing Marlboro’s…arrow_forwardPlease solve this problem ASAP!
