Ohio Swiss Milk Products manufactures and distributes ice cream in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The company wants to expand operations by locating another plant in northern Ohio. The size of the new plant will be a function of the expected demand for ice cream within the area served by the plant. A mar-ket survey is currently under way to determine that demand. Ohio Swiss wants to estimate the relationship between the manufacturing cost per gallon and the number of gallons sold in a year to determine the demand for ice cream and, thus, the size of the new plant. The following data have been collected.
Plant Cost per Thousand Gallons (Y) Thousands of Gallons Sold (X)

a. Develop a regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced.
b. What are the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination? Comment on your regression equation in light of these measures.
c. Suppose that the market survey indicates a demand of 325,000 gallons in the Bucyrus Ohio, area. Estimate the manufacturing cost per gallon for a plant producing 325,000 gallons peryear.
Answer:
a. The regression equation required is Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X.
b. b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) = –0.9423
b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = 88.80%
b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.
c. The manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of Mean of X and Y and other values.
a. Develop a regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced.
The regression can be written as follows:
Y = bo + b1X ………………… (1)
b1 = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2) = –34,273.08 / 121,585.14 = –0.2819
b0 = Mean of Y – (b1 * Mean of X) = 1,018.20 - (365.44 * 0.2819) = 915.18
Substituting b) and b1 values into equation (1), regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced can be written as follows:
Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X ……………………….. (2)
Equation (2) is the regression equation required.
b. What are the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination? Comment on your regression equation in light of these measures.
b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) can be calculated using the following formula:
r = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / ((Sum of (Y - Mean of Y)^2) * (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2))^0.5 = –34,273.08 / (10,879.60 * 121,585.14)^0.5 = –0.9423
b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = –0.94^2 = 0.8880, or 88.80%
b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.
c. Suppose that the market survey indicates a demand of 325,000 gallons in the Bucyrus Ohio, area. Estimate the manufacturing cost per gallon for a plant producing 325,000 gallons per year.
Since X and Y are in thousands, 325,000 gallons implies we have:
X = 325
Substitute X = 325 into equation (2), we have:
Y = 915.18 - (0.2819 * 325)
Expressing in full form, we have:
Y = $823
Therefore, the manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.

Did you experience perfect multicollinearity in the following cases unless?
Answer:
The answer is "Option C"
Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attachment file.
In this question except for choice c, all are incorrect which can be defined as follows:
It is inappropriate because when Dfemme and Dmale are paired together, it will core product multicollinearity. It's inaccurate because the sum of Dmarried and Dsingle equals 1 but produces ideal multicollinearity. It's also inaccurate since Dmarried and Dsingle, as well as Dfemme and Dmale, will all add up to one.Alan Krueger conducted a survey of fans at the 2001 Super Bowl who purchased tickets to the game for $325 or $400.

Which of the following best explains why resources need to be allocated in the game of economic? A) Natural resources are often found in places far from where they are used for production. B) There are always different production methods for the same goods and services. C) There are not enough resources to produce all of the good and services that everyone wants. D) If sufficent resources are not set aside for future production, scarcity cannot be eliminated. THE ANSWER IS C!!!!!!
Answer:
The best explanation for the need to allocate resources in the game of economics is that:
C) There are not enough resources to produce all of the goods and services that everyone wants.
Explanation:
In economics, it has been established that human needs are insatiable and that the resources to meet the needs are not readily and sufficiently available. This is the bedrock of Economics. It is the reason that Economics is studied as a separate course. Scarcity and needs are important concepts in human interactions. Therefore, the ability to allocate scarce resources to enable the production of goods and services is key to human development.

b. both symbolic and substantive actions by executives to implant new cultural behaviors
c. designing compensation incentives that boost the pay of teams and individuals who display the desired cultural behaviors and hit change resisters in the pocketbook
d. replacing old-culture managers with new-breed managers
e. using company gatherings and ceremonial occasions to praise individuals and groups that display the desired new cultural traits and behaviors
Answer:
a. altering the company's financial objectives.
Explanation:
The problem-solving process can be defined as the systematic approach used to identify and determine the solution to a particular problem.
The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;
1. Identify and define the problem: this is the first step to be taken in solving a problem. This is to ensure that, the focus is on the main issue or situation (goal) and all efforts is channeled in the right direction rather than the symptoms.
2. Gathering of information: this helps to consider the options available in solving a problem effectively.
3. Consider your options: this helps to compare the available and viable solutions to the problem.
4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution: you weigh the disadvantages of each solution, before choosing the one with the least disadvantages.
In Business management, changing a problem culture typically does not involve altering the company's financial objectives because the problems that are related to organisational culture are social and more closely related to the behavior and belief of the employees.

The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for $51 per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by $2 per unit and variable overhead will go up by $1 per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of $160,000 to $225,000.
Required:
Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further.
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the analysis shows whether the assemblies should process further or not is presented below:
Differential revenue (38,000 units × ($51 - $44)) $266,000
Differential costs:
Direct material (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)
Direct labor (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)
Variable overhead (38,000units × $1 per unit) ($38,000)
Fixed costs ($160,000 - $225,000) ($65,000)
Additional income (loss) from processing further $11,000
Since the amount comes in positive so it should be processed further

Gray Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Use the following information to solve for the amount of machine hours estimated per unit of product Q.
Direct material cost per unit of Q $18
Total estimated manufacturing overhead $103,000
Total cost per unit of Q $72
Total estimated machine hours 206,000 MH
Direct labor cost per unit of Q $36
a. 40 MH per unit of Q.
b. 0.50 MH per unit of Q.
c. 0.75 MH per unit of Q.
d. 14.00 MH per unit of Q.
e. 24 MH per unit of Q.
Answer:
Machine hours per unit= 18 / 0.5= 36
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 103,000 / 206,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.5 per machine hour
Now, we need to determine the allocated overhead:
Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
72= 18 + 36 + allocated overhead
18= allocated overhead
Finally, the machine hours per unit:
Machine hours per unit= 18 / 0.5= 36
______________, a vast network of linked computers, had its origins in the late 1960s, when scientists at the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) established the ARPAnet computer network so they could transfer data between sites working on similar research projects. This led to a quantum leap forward in computer communications.
Answer:
The internet.
Explanation:
The internet refers to a vast, global system of interconnected computer networks.
There's a standard framework for the transmission of informations on the internet, it is known as the internet protocol suite or Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) model. One of the very basic rule of the TCP/IP protocol for the transmission of information is that, informations are subdivided or broken down at the transport layer, into small chunks called packets rather than as a whole.
Hence, the standard Internet communications protocols which allow digital computers to transfer (prepare and forward) data over long distances is the TCP/IP suite.
Additionally, WWW simply means World Wide Web. The World Wide Web was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1990 while working with the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN); Web 2.0 evolved in 1999. Basically, WWW refers to a collection of web pages that are located on a huge network of interconnected computers (the Internet). Also, users from all over the world can access the world wide web by using an internet connection and a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.
Hill Corporation issued $2,100,000 of 8% bonds at 98 on January 2, 2019. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds had a 10-year life from the date of issue, and the company uses the straight-line method of amortization. On March 31, 2022, Hill recalls the bonds at the call price of 107 plus accrued interest.

Answer:
Hill Corporation
Journal Entries
March 31, 2022:
Debit Bond Liability $2,247,000
Debit Interest Payable $42,000
Credit Cash $2,289,000
To record the recall of the bonds, including accrued interest.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 2, 2019: Face value of bonds issued = $2,100,000
Proceeds from the issue of the bonds at 98 = 2,058,000
Discount from the issue = $42,000
Semi-annual amortization under straight-line = $2,100 ($42,000/20)
Coupon interest rate = 8% with payment made semiannually
Annual interest payment = $168,000 ($2,100,000 * 8%)
Semiannual interest payment = $84,000 ($2,100,000 * 4%)
Bonds duration = 10 years
March 31, 2022 Recall price of 107 = $2,247,000
Accrued interest from January 1 to March 31 = $42,000
Total payment to bondholders = $2,289,000
2 Jodi owns 112 shares of stock selling for $16.20. How many more shares can she purchase after receiving a dividend of $0.80 por share? Round your answer to a whole number.
Answer:
The number of new shares = 6
Explanation:
Dividend is the proportion of profit paid by a company to its shareholder as a form of return on their investment. Another form of return on share investment is the capital gain; which is the difference between the selling price of a share now and its cost when it was purchased.
For Jodi, we need to first calculate the amount of dividends earned on the total shares she owns. And then divide the result by the current purchase price of a share to arrive at the number of shares she can buy more. This is done as follows:
Total dividends = 112× 0.80 = $89.6
Current price of a share = $16.20
THe number of shares that can be purchased= 89.6/16.20=5.5
The number of new shares = 6

B) Diversification is the process of reducing the riskiness associated with individual assets by spreading an investment across numerous assets. C) There is no limit to the amount of risk that can be eliminated through diversification. D) Non-diversifiable risk is the only risk that matters to a diversified investor. E) None of the above.
Answer: C. There is no limit to the amount of risk that can be eliminated through diversification.
Explanation:
Diversification is referred to as the process of reducing the riskiness associated with individual assets such that an investment is spread across numerous assets.
All the options given in the question are correct about diversification except that "There is no limit to the amount of risk that can be eliminated through diversification".

We should note that the risk in the investment cannot be completely eliminated no matter how the economic agent diversifies their portfolio. Even though the risks are reduced, every stock are still affected by general market risks.
Folklore Music manufactures harmonicas. Folklore uses standard costs to judge performance. Recently, a clerk mistakenly threw away some of the records, and only partial data for July exist. Folklore knows that the total direct labor variance for the month was $350 F and that the standard labor rate was $11 per hour. A recent pay cut caused a favorable labor rate variance of $0.40 per hour. The standard direct labor hours for actual July outputs were 5,910.
Required:
a. Find the actual number of direct labor hours worked during July. First, find the actual direct labor rate per hour. Then, determine the actual number of direct labor hours worked by setting up the computation of the total direct labor variance as given.
b. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Do these variances suggest that the manager may have made trade-offs? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The actual direct labor rate per hour will be:
= Standard direct labor rate per hour - favorable labor rate variance
= $11 - $0.40
= $10.60
Then, the actual direct labor hours worked during July will be calculated as:
= (5910 × $11) - $350 / $10.6
= ($65010 - $350) / $10.6
= $64660 / $10.6
= 6100
b. The direct labor rate variance will be:
= (Actual rate per hour - standard rate per hour) × Actual labor hours
= (10.60 - 11.00) × 6100
= 2440F
Direct labor efficiency variance will be:
= (6900 - 5910) × $11
= 2090U
The direct labor rate variance that was favorable shows that the manager paid a lower rate to its staffs while the direct labor efficiency variance that was unfavorable implies that the manager used less efficient workers. This indicates that a trade-off took place.
= (6900

On the worksheet the adjusted balance of a contra asset account would be extended to:
Answer: the Balance Sheet Credit column.
Explanation:
A contra account is simply an asset account which has a credit balance, unlike the normal asset account that typically has a debit balance.
The two main types of contra account include the accumulated depreciation and the allowance for bad debt. We should note that on the worksheet the adjusted balance of a contra asset account would be extended to the credit column of the balance sheet.
Benson Company estimates its uncollectible accounts by aging its accounts receivable and applying percentages to various aged categories of accounts. Benson computes a total of $1,800 in estimated uncollectible accounts as of December 31, 2013. Its Accounts Receivable account has a balance of $56,400 and its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $300 before adjustment at December 31, 2013. How much bad debts expense will Benson report in 2013
Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
With regards to the above, we would compute Benson's Company bad debt expense for 2013 as;
= Estimated uncollectible accounts as of 31, December 2013 - Credit balance in the allowance for doubtful account before adjustment at December 31, 2013.
= $1,800 - $300
= $1,500
Therefore, Benson Company would report $1,500 as bad debts expense in 2013.

Answer:
I commend the governments of Peachtree City and Fayette County for their recent intervention, which will be beneficial to our economy. Earlier, the city reduced the water level in the lake so that people who live on the lake could maintain the shoreline. When the council started to refill the lake, city staff noted problems with the dam and spillway and brought it to the attention of Fayette County. There were financial constraints to completing this project, but the Peachtree City government decided to spend additional money to finish the project. That was the right course of action. The residents’ properties (and property values) have been restored, and the lake will once again draw visitors to the town to enjoy the lake and spend money in our town’s businesses.

Mercury Inc. purchased equipment in 2019 at a cost of $497,000. The equipment was expected to produce 580,000 units over the next five years and have a residual value of $33,000. The equipment was sold for $253,600 part way through 2021. Actual production in each year was: 2019 = 83,000 units; 2020 = 133,000 units; 2021 = 67,000 units. Mercury uses units-of-production depreciation, and all depreciation has been recorded through the disposal date.

1. Calculate the gain or loss on the sale.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale.
3. Assuming that the equipment was instead sold for $280,000, calculate the gain or loss on the sale.
4. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale in requirement 3.
Answer:
1.
Gain or (Loss) on sale = (17000) Loss

4.
Cash 280000 Dr
Accumulated Depreciation 226400 Dr
Gain on Sale 9400 Cr
Equipment 497000 Cr
Explanation:
We first need to calculate the carrying value of the equipment at the date of disposal. The carrying value is calculated as follows,
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Depreciation 2019 = (497000 - 33000) * 83000 / 580000
Depreciation 2019 = 66400
Depreciation 2020 = (497000 - 33000) * 133000 / 580000
Depreciation 2020 = 106400
Depreciation 2021 = (497000 - 33000) * 67000 / 580000
Depreciation 2021 = 53600
Carrying value = 497000 - [ 66400 + 106400 + 53600 ]
Carrying value = $270600
1.
Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price - Carrying Value
Gain or (Loss) on sale = 253600 - 270600
Gain or (Loss) on sale = (17000) Loss
2.
Cash 253600 Dr
Accumulated Depreciation 226400 Dr
Loss on Sale 17000 Dr
Equipment 497000 Cr
3.
Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price - Carrying Value
Gain or (Loss) on sale = 280000 - 270600
Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain
