Suppose that for a typical FedEx package delivery, the cost of the shipment is a function of the weight of the package. You find out that the regression equation for this relationship is (cost of delivery) = 0.728*(weight) + 5.49. If a package you want to ship weighs 13.753 ounces and the true cost of the shipment is $12.229, the residual is -3.273. Interpret this residual in terms of the problem.

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. Consider the following sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation.

1. Compute b₁ and b₀ (to 1 decimal).
   b₁  
   b₀  
   
   Complete the estimated regression equation (to 1 decimal).
   =  +  x
   
2. What is the variable cost per unit produced (to 1 decimal)?
   $
   
3. Compute the coefficient of determination (to 3 decimals). Note: report r²between 0 and 1.
   r² =  
   
   What percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 1 decimal)?
   %
   
4. The company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. What is the estimated total cost for this operation (to the nearest whole number)?
   $

4. If the cost of capital is 8%, will a company that that would pay $100,000 investment in equipment in year 0, and then receives $16,000 per year each of the next eight years (but no salvage value) make the investment?

multiple choice 4

• No

• Yes

5. What would the net cash flows (not discounted) for a company that makes a $100,000 investment in year 0, and then receives $16,000 per year each of the next eight years?

• $100,000

• $28,000

• $0

• $128,000

Write a program in PYTHON that determines the cost of painting the walls of a windowless room. There is one door and it will be painted the same color as the walls. The problem requires a main function and two custom functions that are imported from a custom module that you create. In main, the program should prompt the user for five inputs shown in blue in the Sample Output below:

the length, width, and height of the room in feet.

the cost of one quart of the chosen paint.

the square feet that can be covered by one quart of paint.

The three dimensions of the room should then be used as arguments for a function that calculates and returns the area of the walls in square feet. This area and the remaining two inputs should be used as arguments for a second, void function that determines and prints the cost of the painting job. There will likely be paint left over. There is a method in the math module that you can use to "round up" the number of quarts needed.
Sample Output
Enter the length of the room in feet 20
Enter the width of the room in feet 16
Enter the height of the walls in feet 9
Enter the price of one pail of paint 24.99
Enter the sq ft covered by one pail 100
This job requires 7 pails of paint
The cost of paint is $174.93

A firm with a 13 percent cost of capital is considering a project for this year’s capital budget. The project’s expected after-tax cash flows are as follows:

Calculate the project’s discounted payback period.

“The rate of interest represents the compensation to the lender for the administrative cost incurred, such as rent, salaries, air conditioner, and other costs. Also a compensation for the risk of not recovering the cash flow that was lent, and for an additional profit.”
Why do you think in the Puerto Rico Bank and Financial sector, the interest rate that is paid to the clients in the savings accounts is so low? Few years ago the interest rates were much higher.

In 1990, Flounder Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,300,000 and first occupied it in January 1991. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $69,000 at the end of that time.

Early in 2001, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $575,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,000.

In 2019, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2050, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

a) Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1991 through 2000.

b) Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2001 through 2018.

c) Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated life in 2019.

d) Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2019. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)

The cost to become a member of a fitness center is as follows:

(a) the senior citizens discount is 30%

(b) if the membership is bought and paid for 12 or more months, the discount is 15%

(c) if more than five personal training sessions are bought and paid for, the discount on each session is 20% Write a that determines the cost of a new membership.

Your program must contain: a function that displays the general information about the fitness center and its charges a function that prompts for the price per month of a membership and the cost of each personal trainer session (use pass by pointer parameters) a function that prompts for all of the necessary information to determine the cost of a membership (use pass by pointer parameters) a function to determine the membership cost (use pass by value parameters)

For Example: This program determines the cost of a new membership.

If you are a senior citizen, then the discount is 30% of the regular membership price.

If you buy membership for twelve months and pay today, the discount is 15%

If you buy and pay for 6 or more personal training session today, the discount on each session is 20%

Enter the cost of a regular membership per month: 100

Enter the cost of one personal training session: 11

Are you a senior citizen (Y|y/N|n): n

Enter the number of personal training sessions bought: 3

Enter the number of month you are paying for: 13

The membership cost = $1138.00
