Tomas Ocampo has just been appointed chairperson of the Accountancy Department of ADEB College. In reviewing the department’s cost records, Tomas has found the following total cost associated with MAS Part 2 subject over the last several terms: Semester/Term Number of Subjects Offered Total Cost AY2004, First Semester 4 P10,000 AY2004, Second Semester 6 14,000 AY2004, Summer 2 7,000 AY2005, First Semester 5 13,000 AY2005, Second Semester 3 9,500 Tomas knows that there are some variable costs, such as amounts paid to student assistants, associated with the course. He would like to have variable and fixed cost components separated for planning purposes. Using the least-squares method, what is the variable cost per section of MAS?

Mirtha owns an online jewelry store that specializes in earrings. In March, she sells 50 pairs of earrings priced at $15. The cost of materials to create the 50 pairs of earrings was $100. The website she uses to sell her wares costs her $10 a month, and she is also charged 4% on each sale by the company that processes debit/credit card purchases. Which of the following best represents Mirth’s total cost? Group of answer choices A)The $750 Mirtha earned from earring sales minus the materials ($100), online website charge ($10), and payment processing charge (4%) B)The sum of the materials ($100), website charge ($10), and 4% payment processing charge (4%) C)The cost of all the materials used to create the earrings, $100 D)The costs of materials minus the costs it takes to run her business through the online store, in this case the $10 website charges and the 4% payment processing charge

A study of 86 savings and loan associations in six northwestern states yielded the following cost function. C� = 3.69 - 0.007999Q� + 0.000005359Q2�2 + 25.0X1�1     (3.69)   (3.08)   (3.42)   (3.50)   where C� = average operating expense ratio, expressed as a percentage and defined as total operating expense ($ million) divided by total assets ($ million) times 100 percent. Q� = output; measured by total assets ($ million) X1�1 = ratio of the number of branches to total assets ($ million) Note: The number in parentheses below each coefficient is its respective t-statistic. Holding constant the effects of bank branching (X1�1), what is the level of total assets that minimizes the average operating expense ratio? $746.31 million   $1,562.70 million   $1,492.63 million   $461.31 million     What is the average operating expense ratio for a savings and loan association with the level of total assets determined in the previous part and 1 branch?…
