Chapter 5.A, Problem 5E
EXERCISE 5A-5 Least-Squares Regression LO5-11
George Caloz & Freres, located in Grenchen, Switzerland, makes luxury custom watches in small lots. One of the company's products, a platinum diving watch, goes through an etching process. The company has recorded etching costs as follows over the last six weeks:
For planning purposes, management would like to know the variable etching cost per unit and the total fixed etching cost per week.
Required:
- Prepare a scattergraph plot. (Plot etching costs on the vertical axis and units on the horizontal axis.)
- Using the least-squares regression method, estimate the variable etching cost per unit and the total fixed etching cost per week. Express these estimates in the form Y= a+bX.
- If the company processes five units next week, what would be the expected total etching cost? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

View Policies Current Attempt in Progress Ivanhoe's Candles will be producing a new line of dripless candles in the coming years and has the choice of producing the candles in a large factory with a small number of workers or a small factory with a large number of workers. Each candle will be sold for $10. If the large factory is chosen, the cost per unit to produce each candle will be $3.00. The cost per unit will be $7.50 in the small actory. The large factory would have fixed cash costs of $1.8 million and a depreciation expense of $300,000 per year, while those expenses would be $490,000 and $100,000, respectively in the small factory. Calculate the accounting operating profit break-even point for both factory choices for Ivanhoe's Candles. (Round answers to nearest whole units, e.g. 152.)
