Aliens are observing a park in new york. They notice a merry-go-round has a radius of 3.12m and a moment of inertia of 3100kgm^2 at the vertical axis through the center. The contraption has been lubricated recently so there is no friction. one of the earthlings applies a tangential force of 19N for 13s begging at rest. Unfortunaley after gathering this data the aliens computer broke so now they must calculate the work that was done over the course of the 13s.

Exercise 5A-2 Least-Squares Regression [LO5-11]

Exercise 5A-2 Least-Squares Regression [LO5-11]

 

Bargain Rental Car offers rental cars in an off-airport location near a major tourist destination in California. Management would like to better understand the variable and fixed portions of it car washing costs. The company operates its own car wash facility in which each rental car that is returned is thoroughly cleaned before being released for rental to another customer. Management believes that the variable portion of its car washing costs relates to the number of rental returns. Accordingly, the following data have been compiled:

Month Rental Returns Car Wash Costs
January 2,400   $ 11,000  
February 2,500   $ 13,100  
March 2,700   $ 11,800  
April 3,000   $ 14,300  
May 3,600   $ 16,200  
June 5,000   $ 23,300  
July 5,500   $ 22,200  
August 5,500   $ 22,200  
September 4,700   $ 22,800  
October 4,000   $ 21,100  
November 2,200   $ 10,700  
December 2,800   $ 14,200  

 

Exercise 5A-2 Part 2

2. Using least-squares regression, estimate the variable cost per rental return and the monthly fixed cost incurred to wash cars. (Round Fixed cost to the nearest whole dollar amount and the Variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)

Fixed Cost Per Month    ?
