In recent years, Avery Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is summarized as follows. Bus Acquired Cost Salvage Value Useful Life in Years Depreciation Method 1 1/1/15 $ 96,000 $ 6,500 5 Straight-line 2 1/1/15 122,000 12,000 5 Declining-balance 3 1/1/16 93,000 9,000 4 Units-of-activity For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 120,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2016, 24,000; 2017, 35,500; and 2018, 32,000. For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.) Depreciation expense $ per mile Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus at December 31, 2017. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.) Accumulated depreciation BUS 1 $ BUS 2 $ BUS 3 $ If Bus 2 was purchased on April 1 instead of January 1, what is the depreciation expense for this bus in (1) 2015 and (2) 2016? (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.) (1) 2015 (2) 2016 Depreciation expense $ $

Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds (mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five activity cost pools listed below:

The company already has completed its first stage allocations of costs and has summarized its annual costs and activity as follows:

Required:

Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.

In this problem, we explore the effect on the standard deviation of multiplying each data value in a data set by the same constant. Consider the data set 14, 16, 13, 7, 8.

(a) Use the defining formula, the computation formula, or a calculator to compute s. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
s =

(b) Multiply each data value by 7 to obtain the new data set 98, 112, 91, 49, 56. Compute s. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
s =

(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). In general, how does the standard deviation change if each data value is multiplied by a constant c?

Multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation being |c| times as large.Multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation increasing by c units.    Multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation remaining the same.Multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation being |c| times smaller.

(d) You recorded the weekly distances you bicycled in miles and computed the standard deviation to be s = 2.9 miles. Your friend wants to know the standard deviation in kilometers. Do you need to redo all the calculations?

YesNo    

Given 1 mile ≈ 1.6 kilometers, what is the standard deviation in kilometers? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)
s =  km

Python 3

1. Write the definition of a function that take one number, that represents a temperature in Fahrenheit and prints the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius.
2. Write the definition of another function that takes one number, that represents speed in miles/hour and prints the equivalent speed in meters/second.
3. Write the definition of a function named main. It takes no input, hence empty parenthesis, and does the following:
   - prints Enter 1 to convert Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius
   - prints on the next line, Enter 2 to convert speed from miles per hour to meters per second.
   -take the input, lets call this main input, and if it is 1, get one input then call the function of step 1 and pass it the input.
   - if main input is 2, get one more input and call the function of step 2.
   - if main input is neither 1 or 2, print an error message.
4. After you complete the definition of the function main, write a statement to call main.

Below is an example of how the code should look like:

#Sample Code by Student Name
#Created on Some Date
#Last Edit on Another Date

def func1(x):
print(x)
  
def func2(y):
print(y)
print(' ')
print(y)

def main():
func1('hello world')
func2('hello again')

#below we start all the action
main()

A program that just "works" is not a guarantee for full credit.

How do horsepower and weight affect the mileage of family cars? Data from a sample of 12 2012 family cars are given below (Data extracted from “Top 2012 Cars,” Consumer Reports, April 2012, pp. 40–73.) Develop a regression model to predict mileage (as measured by miles per gallon) based on the horsepower of the car’s engine and the weight of the car (in pounds). Car MPG Horsepower Weight Audi A3 25 200 3305 Chrysler 200 21 173 3590 Dodge Avenger 21 173 3440 Ford Fusion 24 240 3365 Honda Accord 25 177 3285 Kia Optima 25 200 3260 Mazda6 24 170 3185 Mitsubishi Galant 23 160 3430 Nissan Altima 26 175 3155 Suburu Legacy 25 170 3390 Toyota Camry 27 173 3155 Volkswagen Passat 25 170 3270 Use Excel to find the multiple regression results for this problem.
