CHAPTER 7 THE TWO-VARIABLE REGRESSION MODEL: HYPOTHESIS TESTING QUESTIONS 7.1. (a) In the regression context‚ the method of least squares estimates the regression parameters in such a way that the sum of the squared difference between the actual Y values (i.e.‚ the values of the dependent variable) and the estimated Y values is as small as possible. (b) The estimators of the regression parameters obtained by the method of least squares. (c) An estimator

costs at the original budgeted activity level. True False 3. The overhead spending variance and the overhead efficiency variance are useful only if variable overhead really should be proportional to the activity measure that is being used in the flexible budget. True False 4. The variable overhead efficiency variance reflects how efficiently variable overhead resources were used. True False 5. A reason for keeping a constant denominator activity level is to maintain stability in the amount of

CHAPTER 12 PRICING DECISIONS AND COST MANAGEMENT 12-1 The three major influences on pricing decisions are 1. Customers 2. Competitors 3. Costs 12-2 Not necessarily. For a one-time-only special order‚ the relevant costs are only those costs that will change as a result of accepting the order. In this case‚ full product costs will rarely be relevant. It is more likely that full product costs will be relevant costs for long-run pricing decisions. 12-3 Two examples of pricing decisions with
