- Dave Fletcher, the general manager of North Carolina Engineering Corporation (NCEC), thinks that his firm’s engineer-ing services contracted to highway construction firms are directly related to the volume of highway construction business contractedwith companies in his geographic area. He wonders if this is reallyso, and if it is, can this information help him plan his operationsbetter by forecasting the quantity of his engineering servicesrequired by construction firms in each quarter of the year? Thefollowing table presents the sales of his services and total amountsof contracts for highway construction over the past eight quarters: a) Using this data, develop a regression equation for predictingthe level of demand of NCEC’s services. b) Determine the coefficient of correlation and the standard errorof the estimate.arrow_forwardThe following accounts and their balances were selected from the adjusted trial balance of Point Loma Group Inc., a freight forwarder, at October 31, the end of the current fiscal year: Common Stock, no par, $14 stated value $4,480,000 Paid-In Capital from Sale of Treasury Stock 45,000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par—Preferred Stock 210,000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Stated Value—Common Stock 480,000 Preferred 2% Stock, $120 par 8,400,000 Retained Earnings 39,500,000 Prepare the Paid-In Capital portion of the "Stockholders' Equity" section of the balance sheet using Method 1 of Exhibit 9.

As the accountant for a dealership with a number of these vehicles left in stock, your manager has asked you to calculate certain invoice figures. The normal trade discount from GM is 18%. If the average sticker price (list price) of these remaining vehicles at your dealership is $21,500, calculate the following. d. If the cars were then sold from the fleets at $1,200 over "invoice" (net price), what is the total percentage savings to the consumer based on the list price? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
