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.

    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.

    Biblio Files Company is the chief competitor of Cover-to-Cover Company in the bookshelf business. Biblio Files is analyzing its manufacturing costs, and has compiled the following data for the first six months of the year. After reviewing the data, answer questions (1) through (3) that follow.

    Units Produced Total Cost
    January 4,360 units $65,600
    February 275 6,250

    June 3,015 48,000

    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.

    1. If Cover-to-Cover Company wants to increase its profit by $20,000 in the coming year, what must their amount of sales be?
    $____________

    2. If Biblio Files Company wants to increase its profit by $20,000 in the coming year, what must their amount of sales be?
