PART 1: The FEV1/VC ratio is clinically significant because it is an indicator of ["alveolar surface area", "airway resistance", "alveolar pressure", "respiratory rate"] . A healthy individual's FEV1/VC ratio is near ["50%", "80%", "90%", "100%"], while an individual with an obstructive lung disease will likely have a FEV1/VC ratio of less than ["50%", "80%", "90%", "100%"] because of a ["decrease in resistance", "merging", "dilation", "collapsing"] of the small airways.
PART 2: Tidal volume increased after exercise because CO2 production ["increased", "decreased"] owing to the increased metabolic rate of exercising skeletal muscle. This change in CO2 stimulated the ["peripheral", "central"] ["baroreceptors", "photoreceptors", "osmoreceptrs", "chemoreceptors"] resulting in ["faster", "slower"] and ["shallower", "deeper"] breathing. As a result of the tidal volume increasing, inspiratory and expiratory volumes both ["significantly increased", "significantly decreased", "did not significantly change"] while vital capacity ["significantly increased", "significantly decreased", "did not significantly change"]. Since total lung capacity is equal to the vital capacity plus residual volume (which is a constant), total lung capacity ["significantly increased", "significantly decreased", "did not significantly change"] .

An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. By collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. Consider the following sample of 7 production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation.

Kubin Company’s relevant range of production is 26,000 to 35,500 units. When it produces and sells 30,750 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:
| Average Cost per Unit | ||
| Direct materials | $ | 8.60 |
| Direct labor | $ | 5.60 |
| Variable manufacturing overhead | $ | 3.10 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | $ | 6.60 |
| Fixed selling expense | $ | 5.10 |

b. What is the total indirect manufacturing cost incurred to make 30,750 units?
2. Assume the cost object is the Manufacturing Department and that its total output is 30,750 units.
a. How much total manufacturing cost is directly traceable to the Manufacturing Department?
b. How much total manufacturing cost is an indirect cost that cannot be easily traced to the Manufacturing Department?
3. Assume the cost object is the company’s various sales representatives. Furthermore, assume that the company spent $126,075 of its total fixed selling expense on advertising and the remainder of the total fixed selling expense comprised the fixed portion of the company's sales representatives’ compensation.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING AND STATE A BRIEF REASON FOR YOUR CHOICE.
1. Which of the following does NOT occur when net benefit is maximized?
A Marginal cost equals marginal benefit.
B Total benefit exceeds total cost by the greatest amount.
C The number that results when total cost is subtracted from total benefit is as large as possible.
D The additional satisfaction from consuming one more unit of the activity exceeds the additional cost by the greatest amount.
2 An individual will maximize his or her satisfaction from an activity by engaging in it to the point where:
A total cost equals total benefit
B marginal benefit equals total benefit
C marginal cost equals marginal benefit
D total cost equals total benefit minus marginal benefit
3. When there is no cost for a good or activity, net benefit is maximized where marginal benefit is: A zero B maximized C less than zero D greater than zero
A zero
B maximized
C less than zero
D greater than zero
4. Oscar’s marginal benefit exceeds his marginal cost by the greatest amount when he is consuming 10 units of a product. To maximize his net benefit, Oscar should:
A stop consuming at 10 units.
B consume more than 10 units of the product.
C have stopped consuming the product before he reached 10 units.
D not enough information to answer the question.
