- Refer to Problem 8.40 for data. Required: 1. Run a multiple regression equation using machine hours, number of setups, and number of purchase orders as independent variables. Prepare a flexible budget for overhead for the 12 months using the results of this regression equation. (Round the regression coefficients to the nearest cent and predicted overhead to the nearest dollar.) Which flexible budget is betterthe one based on simple regression (with machine hours as the only independent variable) or the one based on multiple regression? Why? 2. Now, suppose that the controller remembers that the factory throws two big parties each year, one for the 4th of July and the other for Christmas. Rerun the multiple regression with machine hours, number of setups, and number of purchase orders, and add a dummy variable called Party. (This variable takes the value one for months with a factory-sponsored party, and zero otherwise.) Prepare a flexible budget for the 12 months using the results of this regression. Discuss the implications of using this new regression for decision making.arrow_forwardSpecifically, Mr. Schaefer wants you to do the following: PART 1. Prepare a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis of the proposal's financial implications. 1. Specifically, prepare an analysis that includes the projected revenue, variable costs, and fixed costs for enrollment levels of 20, 25, 30 and 37 students using the monthly projections in Attachment A of the case. 2. Then, compute the weighted average contribution margin (CM) per student (computed as the total CM divided by the number of students enrolled) and 3. The number of students that need to enroll at each of the four levels of enrollment for the center to break even. For this analysis, I have provided an Excel template in which I have already sorted variable and fixed costs: I have included the raw data. Note: Your enrollment information has already been weighted so you will not need to calculate weights for your weighted average CM.arrow_forwardYour manager would like you to conduct sensitivity analysis to see how changing both the price and unit cost of a product affect profits.

Resource constraints allow only one idea to be commercialized at the present time. The following esti- mates have been made for the five performance criteria that management believes to be most important: RATING Performance Criterion Service A Service B Service C 0.8 0.3 Capital equipment investment required 0.6 0.7 0.3 0.9 Expected return on investment (ROI) Compatibility with current workforce skills 0.4 0.7 0.5 Competitive advantage 1.0 0.4 0.6 Compatibility with EPA requirements 0.2 1.0 0.5 14 a. Calculate a total weighted score for each alternative. Use a preference matrix and assume equal weights for each performance criterion. Which alternative is best? Worst? b.
