For a sample of 12 trees, the volume of lumber (in m3) and the diameter ( in cm ) at a fixed height above the ground level was measured. The results were as follows.

Use Excel sheet

Diameter Volumes
35.1 0.81
48.4 1.39
47.9 1.31
35.3 0.67
47.3 1.46
26.4 0.47
33.8 0.8
45.3 1.69
25.2 0.3
28.5 0.19
30.1 0.63
30 0.64

a)Construct a scatterplot of volume ( y ) versus diameter ( x ). using Excel

b)Compute the least-square line for predicting volume from diameter.

c)Compute the fitted value and residual for each point. d)If two trees differ in diameter by 8 cm, by how much would you predict their volume to differ?

e)Predict the volume of a tree whose diameter is 44 cm.

f)For what diameter would you predict a volume of 1m3

General Shop began as a maker of industrial drafting equipment. After several successful years, the company has graduated into making two popular products: a plotter and a 3D printer. Both products have the same variable costs as shown below.

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $ 70
Direct labour   $130
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 30
Sales Commission $ 20
Total $250

In order to maintain good customer service, General Shop keeps about 500 units of each product on hand as warehouse inventory.

The company has a long-term contract to rent manufacturing equipment and the necessary space for $9,000,000 per year. General & administrative costs amount to $2,100,000 per year.

Costs and unit sales are expected to be consistent from last year to the current year. Based on last years’ results, General Shop expects to sell 10,000 units of each product this year. The plotters are priced at $800 and the 3D printers at $1,000.

Jennifer, president of the company, is considering how best to motivate her managers. She feels it is fair to provide bonuses once the company’s operating income is 5% above the expected operating income.

Required:

  1. Prepare a contribution format income statement for General Shop using variable costing.
  2. Prepare an income statement for General Shop using absorption costing.

) A bond's market price is $950. It has a $1,000 par value, will mature in 14 years, and has a coupon interest rate of 8 percent annual interest, but makes its interest payments semiannually. What is the bond's yield to maturity? What happens to the bond's yield to maturity if the bond matures in 28 years? What if it matures in 7 years? (Round to two decimal places.) The bond's yield to maturity if it matures in 14 years is % The bond's yield to maturity if it matures in 28 years is % The bond's yield to maturity if it matures in 7 years is %

1) Find the appropriate measure of center. Discuss why the chosen measure is most appropriate. Why did you decide against other possible measures of center? 2) Find the appropriate measure of variation. The measure of variation chosen here should match the measure of center chosen in Part 1. 3) Find the graph(s) needed to appropriately describe the data. These may be done by hand and inserted into the Word document. 4) Define a random variable (X) so that your chosen data set represents values of X. 5) Is your chosen random variable discrete or continuous? Explain how you know. 6) Would the Normal or Binomial distribution be a good fit for the underlying sample distribution of X? If one of them is a good fit, state how you would approximate the distribution parameters. 7) Calculate the probability that a flight will depart early or on time. 8)Calculate the probability that a flight will arrive late. 9) Calculate the probability that a flight departs late or arrives early. 10 ) Assume now that the random variable X = Arrival Time is exactly normally distributed with mean, mu = -2.5, and standard deviation, sigma = 23. Compute the probability of a flight arriving late based on this new information. Does this contradict your answer from Part 8?
