R&R Savings Bank finds that its basic transaction account, which requires a $1000 minimum balance, costs this savings bank an average of $3.25 per month in servicing costs (including labor and computer time) and $1.25 per month in overhead expenses. The savings bank also tries to build in a $0.50 per month profit margin on these accounts. Further analysis of customer accounts reveals that for each $100 above the $500 minimum in average balance maintained in its transaction accounts, R&R Savings saves about 5 percent in operating expenses with each account. (Note: If the bank saves about 5 percent in operating expenses for each $100 held in balances above the $500 minimum, then a customer maintaining an average monthly balance of $1,000 should save the bank 25 percent in operating costs) For a customer who consistently maintains an average balance of $1,200 per month, how much should the bank charge in order to protect its profit margin? 05.00 4.68 O 0.32 325
The cost data for BC Billing Solutions for the year 2020 is as follows: Using the high-low method, express the companys overtime wages as an equation where x represents number of invoices processed. Assume BC has monthly fixed costs of $3,800. Predict the overtime wages if 9,000 invoices are processed. Predict the overtime wages if 6,500 invoices are processed. Using Excel, create a scatter graph of the cost data and explain the relationship between the number of invoices processed and overtime wage expense.
Friendly Bank is attempting to determine the cost behavior of its small business lending operations. One of the major activities is the application activity. Two possible activity drivers have been mentioned: application hours (number of hours to complete the application) and number of applications. The bank controller has accumulated the following data for the setup activity: Required: 1. Estimate a regression equation with application hours as the activity driver and the only independent variable. If the bank forecasts 2,600 application hours for the next month, what will be the budgeted application cost? 2. Estimate a regression equation with number of applications as the activity driver and the only independent variable. If the bank forecasts 80 applications for the next month, what will be the budgeted application cost? 3. Which of the two regression equations do you think does a better job of predicting application costs? Explain. 4. Run a multiple regression to determine the cost equation using both activity drivers. What are the budgeted application costs for 2,600 application hours and 80 applications?
