Chapter 14.5, Problem 29E
Cost Estimation Conclusion. Refer to exercise 21, where data on production volume and cost were used to develop an estimated regression equation relating production volume and cost for a particular manufacturing operation. Use α = .05 to test whether the production volume is significantly related to the total cost. Show the ANOVA table. What is your conclusion?
21. Cost Estimation. An important application of
- a. Use these data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the total cost for a given production volume.
- b. What is the variable cost per unit produced?
- c. Compute the coefficient of determination. What percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by production volume?
- d. The company’s production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. Predict the total cost for this operation.
