Question 5 sarasota electronics has enjoyed tremendous sales growth during the last 10 years. however, even though sales have steadily increased, the company's ceo, dana byrnes, is concerned about certain aspects of its performance. she has called a meeting with the corporate controller and the vice presidents of finance, operations, sales, and marketing to discuss the company's performance. dana begins the meeting by making the following observations: we have been forced to take significant write-downs on inventory during each of the last three years because of obsolescence. in addition, inventory storage costs have soared. we rent four additional warehouses to store our increasingly diverse inventory. five years ago inventory represented only 20% of the value of our total assets. it now exceeds 35%. yet, even with all of this inventory, "stockouts measured by complaints by customers that the desired product is not available have increased by 40% during the last three years. and worse yet, it seems that we constantly must discount merchandise that we have too much of. dana asks the group to review the following data and make suggestions as to how the company's performance might be improved 2017 2016 2015 2014 (in millions) inventony $221 $183 139 $124 raw materials work in process finished goods total inventory 79 51 617 440 tetal inventory$952 702 596410 current assets $1,47 $1,486 $1,262 $922 $ total assets current liabilities$650$607 sales revenue cost of goods sold $5,923 $5,184 net income $2,753 $2,403 $2,214 $2,074 $379 $9,151 $8,685 $6,939 $6,992 $3,608 $737 $1,055 $904 $905 $504 $4,087 using the information provided, compute the current ratio, gross profit rate, profit margin, inventory turnover, and days in inventory for 2015, 2016, and 2017.

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. production volume (units) total cost ($) 400 4000 450 5000 550 5400 600 5900 700 6400 750 7000 compute b 1 and b 0 (to 2 decimals if necessary). b 1 b 0 complete the estimated regression equation (to 2 decimals if necessary). = + x what is the variable cost per unit produced (to 1 decimal)? $ compute the coefficient of determination (to 4 decimals). note: report r 2 between 0 and 1. r 2 = what percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 2 decimals)? % the company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. what is the estimated total cost for this operation (to 2 decimals)? $
