The hospital ran a regression analysis using nursing hours as the cost driver to predict total hospital overhead costs. The regression analysis produced the following data:
Intercept: 346245
Slope: 12.81796
RSQ: 0.909311
A.) Round the variable portion of the regression equation formula to two decimal places. Based on the regression equation formula, what will the predicted total hospital overhead costs be if 54,000 nursing hours are expended during a month?
The hospital then ran a regression analysis using number of patient days as cost driver. The regression analysis produced the following data:
Intercept: 559764
Slope: 47.970926
RSQ: 0.563496482
B.) Again, round the variable portion of the regression equation to two decimal places. If 9,500 patient days are predicted for a month, what is the total predicted hospital overhead costs using the regression equation?
C.) Which regression equation, the one using nursing hours as the cost driver or the one using patient days as the cost driver, produces the most accurate correlation (best explanation of) the predicted hospital overhead costs. How do you know that your answer is correct? In other words, justify your answer.

Cost Behavior
Cover-to-Cover Company is a manufacturer of shelving for books. The company has compiled the following cost data, and wants your help in determining the cost behavior. After reviewing the data, complete requirements (1) and (2) that follow.
Units Produced |
Total Lumber Cost |
Total Utilities Cost |
Total Machine Depreciation Cost |
| 15,000 shelves | $150,000 | $18,750 | $135,000 |
| 30,000 shelves | 300,000 | 36,000 | 135,000 |

| 75,000 shelves | 750,000 | 87,750 | 135,000 |
1. Determine whether the costs in the table are variable, fixed, mixed, or none of these.
| Lumber | Variable Cost |
| Utilities | Mixed Cost |
| Depreciation | Fixed Cost |
2. For each cost, determine the fixed portion of the cost, and the per-unit variable cost. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". Recall that, for N = Number of Units Produced, Total Costs = (Variable Cost Per Unit x N) + Fixed Cost. Complete the following table with your answers. Round variable portion of cost (per unit) answers to two decimal places.

1. From the data previously provided, help Biblio Files Company estimate the fixed and variable portions of its total costs using the high-low method. Recall that Total Costs = (Variable Cost Per Unit x Number of Units Produced) + Fixed Cost. Complete the following table.
| Total Fixed Cost | Variable Cost per Unit |

Sales Mix
Biblio Files Company is making plans for its next fiscal year, and decides to sell two new types of bookshelves, Basic and Deluxe. The company has compiled the following estimates for the new product offerings.
| Type of Bookshelf |
Sales Price per Unit |
Variable Cost per Unit |
| Basic | $5.00 | $1.75 |
| Deluxe | 9.00 | 8.10 |
The company is interested in determining how many of each type of bookshelf would have to be sold in order to break even. If we think of the Basic and Deluxe products as components of one overall enterprise product called “Combined,” the unit contribution margin for the Combined product would be $2.31. Fixed costs for the upcoming year are estimated at $332,640. Recall that the totals of all the sales mix percents must be 100%. Determine the amounts to complete the following table.
| Type of Bookshelf | Percent of Sales Mix | Break-Even Sales in Units | Break-Even Sales in Dollars |
| Basic | % | $ | |
| Deluxe | % | $ |
Feedback
Review the definition of break-even point.
Recall that the Combined unit contribution margin is given by [(Basic unit contribution margin) x (Basic percent of sales mix)] + [(Deluxe unit contribution margin) x (Deluxe percent of sales mix)]. Since these percents must add up to 100%, we have the following:
(Basic percent of sales mix) + (Deluxe percent of sales mix) = 100%, so that
(Deluxe percent of sales mix) = 100% - (Basic percent of sales mix)
Target Profit
Refer again to the income statements for Cover-to-Cover Company and Biblio Files Company on their respective Income Statement. Note that both companies have the same sales and net income. Answer questions (1) - (3) that follow, assuming that all data for the coming year is the same as the current year, except for the amount of sales.
