Design a space within a building (could be one room) indicating the interior thermal
mass and construction. The design should illustrate the best location for thermal mass
and window placement in order to improve indoor comfort and building's thermal
performance.

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.

In the Microsoft Excel Online file below you will find a sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation. Conduct a regression analysis to explore the relationship between total cost and production volume and then answer the questions that follow.

1. Compute b₁ and b₀ (to 1 decimal).

   b₁

   b₀

   Complete the estimated regression equation (to 1 decimal).

   =  + x

2. According to this model, what is the change in cost (in dollars) for every unit produced (to 1 decimal)?

3. Compute the coefficient of determination (to 3 decimals). Note: report r² between 0 and 1.

   r² =

   What percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 1 decimal)?

Atwich Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 600 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were:

  Cost percent complete
Material Cost $10,700 70%

Conversion Cost $13,900 50%

A total of 5,100 units were started and 4,400 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month:
  Material cost $103,700

Conversion cost $ 180,900
The ending inventory was 75% complete with respect to materials and 10% complete with respect to conversion costs.
Note: Your answers may differ from those offered below due to rounding error. In all cases, select the answer that is the closest to the answer you computed. To reduce rounding error, carry out all computations to at least three decimal places.

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to:

1-      Total cost to account for using weighted average units

2-      Equivalent unit of production

3-      Cost of units completed and transferred out

4-      Cost per equivalent
