Nolan Banks is an auditor for the Public Service Commission for the state of Georgia. The PublicService Commission is a government agency responsible for ensuring that utility companies throughout the state manage their operations efficiently so that they can provide quality services to the public at fair prices. Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, and various communities and regions throughout the state have different companies that provide water, power, and phone service. These companies have a monopoly in the areas they serve and, therefore, could take unfair advantage of the public. One of nolan's jobs it to visit the companies and audit their financial records to detect whether or not any abuse is occuring. A major problem Nolan faces in his job is determining whether the expenses reported by the utility companies are reasonable. For example, when he reviews a financial report for a local phone company, he might see cable line maintenance costs of $1,345,948, and he needs to determine if this amount is responsible. This determination is complicated by the fact that the companies differ in size - so he cannot compare the costs of one company directly to another. Similarly, he cannot come up with a simple ratioo to determine costs (such as 2% for the ratio of line maintenance costs to total revenue) because a single ratio might not be appropriate for companies of different sizes.

To help solve this problem, Nolan wants you to build a regression model to estimate what level of line maintenance expense would be expected for companies of different sizes. One measure of size for a phone company is the number of customers it has. Nolan collected the data in the file PhoneService.xlsx representing the numeber of customers and line maintenance of 12 companies he audited in the past year and determined being run in a reasonably efficient manner.

What level of line maintenance expense would be expected for a phone company with 75,000 cutomers according to this new estimated regression function? Show how you arrive at the value.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

O’Brien Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company’s first three years of operations:

Variable costs per unit:
Manufacturing:
Direct materials $ 27
Direct labor $ 15
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5
Variable selling and administrative $ 3
Fixed costs per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 540,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 110,000

During its first year of operations, O’Brien produced 93,000 units and sold 76,000 units. During its second year of operations, it produced 77,000 units and sold 89,000 units. In its third year, O’Brien produced 85,000 units and sold 80,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $80 per unit.

Case 6-29 Part-3

3. Assume the company uses absorption costing and a FIFO inventory flow assumption (FIFO means first-in first-out. In other words, it assumes that the oldest units in inventory are sold first):

a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.

b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.

A company manufactures printers and fax machines at plants located in Atlanta, Dallas, and Seattle. To measure how much employees at these plants know about quality management, a random sample of 6 employees was selected from each plant and the employees selected were given a quality awareness examination. The examination scores for these 18 employees are shown in the following table. The sample means, sample variances, and sample standard deviations for each group are also provided. Managers want to use these data to test the hypothesis that the mean examination score is the same for all three plants.
