9- Boyne University offers an extensive continuing education program in many cities throughout the state. For the convenience of its faculty and administrative staff and to save costs, the university operates a motor pool. The motor pool’s monthly planning budget is based on operating 18 vehicles; however, for the month of March the university purchased one additional vehicle. The motor pool furnishes gasoline, oil, and other supplies for its automobiles. A mechanic does routine maintenance and minor repairs. Major repairs are performed at a nearby commercial garage. The following cost control report shows actual operating costs for March of the current year compared to the planning budget for March.

The planning budget was based on the following assumptions:

$0.12 per mile for gasoline. $0.09 per mile for oil, minor repairs, and parts, $33 per automobile per month for outside repairs.$69 per automobile per month for insurance.$8,610 per month for salaries and benefits.$194 per automobile per month for depreciation.

The supervisor of the motor pool is unhappy with the report, claiming it paints an unfair picture of the motor pool’s performance.

Required:1. Calculate the spending variances for March. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

6. A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotates horizontally about one end while the pilot is seated at the other end. In order to achieve a radial acceleration of 35.1 m/s2 with a beam of length 5.39 m, what rotation frequency is required?

? Hz

7. You want to design an oval racetrack such that 3200 lb racecars can round the turns of radius 1000 ft at 105 mi/h without the aid of friction. You estimate that when elements like downforce and grip in the tires are considered the cars will round the turns at a maximum of 175 mi/h. Find the banking angle θ necessary for the racecars to navigate these turns at 105 mi/h and without the aid of friction.

? degree

This banking and radius are very close to the actual turn data at Daytona International Speedway where 3200 lb stock cars travel around the turns at about 175 mi/h. What additional radial force is necessary to hold the racecar on the track at 175 mi/h?

? N

8. A 5.21-kg ball hangs from the top of a vertical pole by a 2.51-m-long string. The ball is struck, causing it to revolve around the pole at a speed of 4.83 m/s in a horizontal circle with the string remaining taut. Calculate the angle, between 0° and 90°, that the string makes with the pole. Take g = 9.81 m/s2.

? degree

What is the tension of the string?

Prior to installing a JIT system, Clarendon Company used machine hours to assign maintenance costs to its three products of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 11-inch insulation. The maintenance costs totaled $400,000 per year. The machine hours used by each product and the quantity produced of each product are as follows:

After installing JIT, three manufacturing cells were created and the cell workers were trained to perform maintenance. Maintenance costs for the three cells still totaled $400,000; however, these costs are now traceable to each cell.

The maintenance cost per roll of 8-inch insulation before JIT is installed would be

a.$20.00.

b.$16.00.

c.$9.33.

d.$6.40.

We are interested in exploring the relationship between the weight of a vehicle and its fuel efficiency (gasoline mileage). The data in the table show the weights, in pounds, and fuel efficiency, measured in miles per gallon, for a sample of 12 vehicles.

• Part (b)

  r = -0.71 (correlation coefficient).
  Yes, it is significant
• Part (c) Find the equation of the best fit line. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)       ŷ = ________x + _______

Part (e)

What percent of the variation in fuel efficiency is explained by the variation in the weight of the vehicles, using the regression line? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
%

Part (g)

For the vehicle that weighs 3000 pounds, find the residual

(y − ŷ).

(Round your answer to two decimal places.)


Does the value predicted by the line underestimate or overestimate the observed data value?

underestimate or overestimate    

Part (i)

The outlier is a hybrid car that runs on gasoline and electric technology, but all other vehicles in the sample have engines that use gasoline only. Explain why it would be appropriate to remove the outlier from the data in this situation.

The outlier lies directly on the line, so the error residual (y − ŷ) is zero. The outlier represents a different population of vehicles compared to the rest.     The outlier is creating a curved least squares regression line. The outlier does not lie directly on the line, but it is close.

Remove the outlier from the sample data. Find the new correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Find the new best fit line. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

One of my recent papers examine important and timely research questions using a field experiment approach in eBay auctions: (i) Can merchandise return policy (MRP; liberalness in the MRP) increase consumers’ willingness to pay? and (ii) is the marginal impact of MRP diminishing? In this study we created three brand new eBay seller profiles, all with zip-codes located within five miles of each other in a college town in the U.S. The eBay stores received exactly the same product description, pictures, outbound shipping policies, etc. The only difference among the three sellers was the extent of liberalness in the MRP and we chose to operationalize MRP liberalness in terms of the time window during which the customer is allowed to return the purchased product. The most conservative MRP (Storefront 1 and 1a) involved a 15-day return window. According to trade publications, this return condition is more conservative than retail-industry averages. Storefront2 and 2a received a 30-day return window, which corresponds closely with retail-industry averages. Finally, Storefront3 and 3a received a 60-day return window, which is more liberal than many retailers offer at this point. The other elements of the return remained constant across the three storefronts. Therefore, in terms of overall return-policy liberalness, it could be argued that Storefront1/1a < Storefront 2/2a < Storefront 3/3a . It is important to note that it is very common in my data that we observe a customer’s bidding behavior in several auctions. [Question] During the revision stage of the journal publication process, one of reviewer’s comment was that the I may use a fixed effects model to control for unobserved individual fixed effects. Do you agree or disagree with the above statement? Please explain with details.

George Garcia, a 23-year-old construction worker, and his wife, Anita, age 20, bring their 4-month-old daughter to the emergency room of a small community hospital. They speak broken English. They have another small child with them, as well as two older women. They are very worried about the infant, who they say has been unable to retain feedings of diluted cow's milk. Now, because of poor sucking and increased sleeping, the infant has not had anything by mouth for the last 24 hours. When asked, the parents say the infant has been sick for 3 or 4 days. The infant is listless, and her eyes are sunken. Anita is newly pregnant with her third child.

The Garcia family lives together in a small house 2 miles from the Mexican border in a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood.. The padrinosor compadres (godparents) live next door to the Garcias. The family is Catholic, and a medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on a chain around the older child's neck. The baby has a bracelet with a seed in it around her wrist. The 2 older women with the Garcias are the mothers of George and Anita. George's mother is a curandero, and has been treating the baby with weak specially brewed teas.
