Recent estimates predict that between 1982 and 1995 the greatest increase in the number of people employed will be in the category of low-paying service occupations. this category, however, will not increase its share of total employment, whereas the category of high-paying service occupations will increase its share.
if the estimates above are accurate, which of the following conclusions can be drawn?
(a) in 1982 more people were working in low-paying service occupations than were working in high-paying service occupations.
(b) in 1995 more people will be working in high-paying service occupations than will be working in low-paying service occupations.
(c) nonservice occupations will account for the same share of total employment in 1995 as in 1982.
(d) many of the people who were working in low-paying service occupations in 1982 will be working in high-paying service occupations by 1995.
(e) the rate of growth for low-paying service occupations will be greater than the overall rate of employment growth between 1982 and 1995.

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)? $
