1) Consider the following data for two variables, x and y.

(a) Develop an estimated regression equation for the data of the form

ŷ = b₀ + b₁x.

(Round b₀ to two decimal places and b₁ to three decimal places.)  ŷ =  

2)

A statistical program is recommended.

A study investigated the relationship between audit delay (Delay), the length of time from a company's fiscal year-end to the date of the auditor's report, and variables that describe the client and the auditor. Some of the independent variables that were included in this study follow.

A sample of 40 companies provided the following data.

(a)

Develop the estimated regression equation using all of the independent variables. Use x₁ for Industry, x₂ for Public, x₃ for Quality, and x₄ for Finished. (Round your numerical values to two decimal places.)

ŷ =

−5.21x4​−1.80x3​+1.65x2​+12.11x1​+78.83

(b)

Did the estimated regression equation developed in part (a) provide a good fit? Explain. (Use α = 0.05. For purposes of this exercise, consider an adjusted coefficient of determination value high if it is at least 50%.)

Yes, testing for significance shows that the overall model is significant and all the individual independent variables are significant.No, the low value of the adjusted coefficient of determination does not indicate a good fit.    Yes, the low p-value and high value of the adjusted coefficient of determination indicate a good fit.No, testing for significance shows that all independent variables except Public are not significant.

What does this scatter diagram indicate about the relationship between Delay and Finished?

The scatter diagram suggests no relationship between these two variables.The scatter diagram suggests a linear relationship between these two variables.     The scatter diagram suggests a curvilinear relationship between these two variables.

(d)

On the basis of your observations about the relationship between Delay and Finished, use best-subsets regression to develop an alternative estimated regression equation to the one developed in (a) to explain as much of the variability in Delay as possible. Use x₁ for Industry, x₂ for Public, x₃ for Quality, and x₄ for Finished. (Round your numerical values to two decimal places.)

ŷ =

−38.56x4​−2.28x3​+7.45x2​+14.27x1​+113.01

Problem 14-1 (Algorithmic) Suppose that the R&B Beverage Company has a soft drink product that shows a constant annual demand rate of 3000 cases. A case of the soft drink costs R&B $3. Ordering costs are $19 per order and holding costs are 27% of the value of the inventory. R&B has 250 working days per year, and the lead time is 5 days. Identify the following aspects of the inventory policy: a.Economic order quantity. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. b.Reorder point. c.Cycle time. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. d. total annual cost. If required, round your answer to two decimal places.

An object with mass 70 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location <7, -35, -5> its speed was 5.0 m/s. A single constant force <210, 400, -150> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <7, -35, -5> m to location <11, -27, -8> m. Then a different single constant force <140, 250, 210> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <11, -27, -8> m to location <17, -31, -3> m. What is the speed of the object at this final location?

Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $76,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $6,000. All three trucks were driven 81,000 miles in 2018, 55,000 miles in 2019, 46,000 miles in 2020, and 71,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $65,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions. Ignore the effects of income taxes. b-1. Calculate the net income for 2021? (Round "Per Unit Cost" to 3 decimal places.)
