An electronics company is looking to develop a regression model to predict the number of units sold for a special running watch. Data is provided below: Sales (units) Price ($) Advertising ($) Holiday 500 100 50 Yes 480 120 40 Yes 485 110 45 No 510 103 55 Yes 490 108 40 No 488 109 30 No 496 106 45 Yes Compile an excel spreadsheet for the above data and determine the regression equation Answer (a) X3 = 1 if it is a holiday and 0 if not. (b) 0.4670

Answers:

Y = 596.02 - 1.09X1 +0.28X2 + 4.34X3 where X1 = Price, X2 = Advertising, X3 = Dummy Variable for Holiday

Y = 596.02 + 1.09X1 +0.28X2 + 4.34X3 where X1 = Price, X2 = Advertising, X3 = Dummy Variable for Holiday

Y = 59.62 - 1.09X1 +0.28X2 + 4.34X3 where X1 = Price, X2 = Advertising, X3 = Dummy Variable for Holiday

596.02 - 0.28X1 + 1.09X2 + 4.34X3 where X1 = Price, X2 = Advertising, X3 = Dummy Variable for Holiday

The Good Chocolate Company makes a variety of chocolate candies, including a 12-ounce chocolate bar (340 grams) and a box of six 1-ounce chocolate bars (170 grams).

a.Specifications for the 12-ounce bar are 330 grams to 350 grams. What is the largest standard deviation (in grams) that the machine that fills the bar molds can have and still be considered capable if the average fill is 340 grams? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
  

Standard deviation              grams

b.The machine that fills the bar molds for the 1-ounce bars has a standard deviation of .82 gram. The filling machine is set to deliver an average of 1.01 ounces per bar. Specifications for the six-bar box are 157 to 183 grams. Is the process capable? Hint: The variance for the box is equal to six times the bar variance.
  

• Yes

• No

c.What is the lowest setting in ounces for the filling machine that will provide capability in terms of the six-bar box? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)

Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forces to start​ A&Z Lettuce​ Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processing​ experience, and Angela has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then​ sorting, washing,​ slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce.​ Together, with help from​ vendors, they think they can adequately estimate​ demand, fixed​ costs, revenues, and variable cost per bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed costs of $ 36 comma 000 and variable costs of $ 1.60 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $ 72 comma 000 per month with variable costs of $ 1.00 per bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $ 2.75 per bag.

​a) The​ break-even quantity in units for the manual process​ = ________ bags ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

​b) The revenue for the manual process at the​ break-even quantity​ = ________ (round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

c) The​ break-even quantity in units for the mechanized process​ =_______ bags ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

d) The revenue for the mechanized process at the​ break-even quantity​ =______ (round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

e) For monthly sales of 65,000 bags, for the option with manual​ processing, A&Z Lettuce Products will have a profit of $______ (round your response to the nearest whole number and include a minus sign if the profit is​ negative).

​f) For monthly sales of 65,0000 ​bags, for the option with mechanized​ processing, A&Z Lettuce Products will have a profit of $_____ (round your response to the nearest whole number and include a minus sign if the profit is​ negative).

​g) The quantity at which Zan and Angela are going to be indifferent between the manual and mechanized process​ = ______ bags round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

​h) If the demand exceeds the point of​ indifference, then Zan and Angela should prefer the option with (mechanized/manual) processing.

If the demand stays below the point of​ indifference, then Zan and Angela should prefer the option with (mechanized/manual) processing.

with the aid of an example,critically discuss how making cost and schedule trade-offs may accelerate projects duration.

“There is a need for regulation of our accounting profession. We cannot afford a system, like the present one, that facilitates failure rather than success.
