SCENARIO 18-9
What are the factors that determine the acceleration time (in sec. )from 0 to 60 miles per hour of a car? Data on the following variables for 171 different vehicle models were collected:
Accel Time: Acceleration time in sec.
Cargo Vol: Cargo volume in cu.ft.
HP: Horsepower MPG: Miles per gallon
SUV: 1 if the vehicle model is an SUV with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0 Sedan: 1 if the vehicle model is a sedan with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0
The regression results using acceleration time as the dependent variable and the remaining variables as the independent variables are presented below.
The various residual plots are as shown below.
The coefficient of partial determination ( R2 yj.(All variables except j ) )of each of the 5 predictors are, respectively,0.0380,0.4376,0.0248,0.0188,and 0.0312.
The coefficient of multiple determination for the regression model using each of the 5 variables X j as the dependent variable and all other X variables as independent variables ( R2 j )are,respectively, 0.7461,0.5676,0.6764,0.8582,0.6632.
-Referring to Scenario 18-9,_____of the variation in Accel Time can be explained by MPG while controlling for the other independent variables.
Denominator Activity Level
A term used in cost accounting to represent the total activity or volume that is used to allocate fixed costs to units of output.
Standard Cost System
A cost accounting system that uses cost units determined in advance for materials, labor, and overhead to estimate the cost of production.
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
Regular, consistent expenses related to manufacturing that do not vary with the level of production, such as rent, salaries, and insurance.
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance
The difference between the actual variable overhead cost incurred and the expected (or standard) variable overhead cost for the actual production volume.
