A sample of nine public universities and nine private universities was taken. The total cost for the year (including room and board) and the median SAT score (maximum total is 2400) at each school were recorded. It was felt that schools with higher median SAT scores would have a better reputation and would charge more tuition as a result of that. The data are in the following table. Run the regression one time without dummy variable and one time with dummy variable

a)         Write the predicted regression equation and highlight it for both models

b)         High light the r2 and explain it for both models

c)         Highlight Significance F and explain it for both models

d)         Highlight the p-value and discuss if independent variable is significant or not for both models

e)         Discuss the sign of the co-efficient for both models

f)          Are private schools more expensive than public schools when SAT scores are taken into consideration?

g)         Discuss how accurate you believe these results are using information related to the regression models. ( not for this session).

Hint: Dummy variable gets the value of 0 for public universities and1 for private universities.

The total prime cost of a product was OMR4,400. The variable manufacturing overhead is calculated based on the number of direct labor hours. The variable manufacturing overhead cost per hour is three times the direct labor cost per hour. The fixed manufacturing overhead was OMR1,500. Assuming that direct labor hours were 300 and that the direct labor cost was 10% of direct materials cost, how much is the total manufacturing cost? Select one:

a. OMR7,100

b. OMR5,900

c. OMR17,600

d. OMR13,100

e. OMR19,100

. Compute the total cost of a meal inclusive of GST (Goods and Service Tax) and tipping. Assume that the GST is fixed at 6% but the amount to tip will depend on the customer. Your program should input the cost of the meal (before GST and tipping) and the tip amount (to be input as a percentage). Your program should display: - The total cost of the meal BEFORE GST and tipping - The total cost of the meal AFTER GST - The total cost of the meal AFTER GST and tipping

1. A company purchased and installed a machine on January 1, 2012, at a total cost of $108,500. Straight-line depreciation was calculated based on the assumption of a seven-year life and no salvage value. The machine was disposed of on April 1, 2016. (25 Points)

a. Prepare the general journal entry to update depreciation to April 1, 2016.
b. Prepare the general journal entry to record the disposal of the machine under each of these three independent situations:
(1) The machine was sold for $45,000 cash.
(2) The machine was sold for $36,000 cash.
(3) The machine was totally destroyed in a fire and the insurance company settled the claim for $41,000 cash.

It was felt that schools with higher median SAT scores would have a better reputation and would charge more tuition as a result of that. The data is in the table below. Uss regression to help answer the following questions based on this sample data. Do schools with higher SAT scores charge more in tuition and fees? Are private schools more expensive than public school when SAT scores are taken into consideration.
