This question was already asked in CourseHero, but the answer in the summary output in the pdf is missing digits, for example the P-value is shown as 3.54927E- where the last digit is missing. Please upload a .docx or .xlsx file with all answers if possible, and make sure all the digits are visible in your output summary. I attached a screenshot of the table in case the following table is scrambled.

Question:

TJ's Cheese Cake Factory, Inc. sells original cheese cake for $16 each. The company provided the following units and total cost data concerning its cake sales for each month during 2011:

CostUnits
January55,0002,500
February59,0002,800
March60,0003,000
April64,0004,200
May67,0004,500
June71,0005,500
July74,0006,500
August77,0007,500
September75,0007,000
October68,0004,500
November62,0003,100
December73,0006,500

  1. Use the linear regression method to estimate fixed and variable costs. Excel has a function that you can use (I have posted these data in excel on Blackboard for your convenience). Print out the regression output and attach to this test.
  2. Interpret and evaluate your regression model and results. Write out the cost formula.
  3. Estimate total costs in a month when 6,000 cakes are produced and sold.
  4. Estimate total profit in a month when 6,000 cakes are produced and sold.
  5. You are working on the budget for October 2012 and expect 10,000 cakes will be produced and sold. Estimate total costs in a month when 10,000 cakes are produced and sold. Will you use the estimated cost in your budget? Why?
  6. How does linear regression differ from the high-low method in estimating fixed and variable costs? Discuss the pros and cons of each.
