JUSTIFICATION:
1. Linear is to identify the parameters of the hyperplane which best fits a regression
dataset, it is usual practice to first form the Least Squares cost function. This cost
function computes the total squared error between the associated hyperplane and the
data for a given set of parameters, providing a useful indicator of how well the
specific linear model fits the dataset.
2. A is the correct answer, to compute monthly production cost, fixed cost plus your
variable costs per unit multiplied by the number of units produced per month.

Calculation of variable production cost per unit using least squares method as
follows:

 Mean of X = P 4,050 / 6 = P 675

 Mean of Y = P 41,250 / 6 = P 6,875

Calculation:
= P 28,287,500 - [(6)*(675)*(6,875)] / [P 2,852,500 - (6)* (675)2]
= P 28,287,500 - P 27,843,750 / [P 2,852,500 - P 2,733,750]
= P 443,750 / P 118,750
= P 3.74

4. Calculation:
= [41,250 - (3.74*4,050)] / 6
= [41,250-15,147] / 6
= 26,103 / 6
= 4,350

5.  The Highest activity of units produced is in the month of June - 900 units
with Total Production cost at P6,000.
 The Lowest activity of units produced is in the month of April - 500 units
with Total Production cost at P4,000.
  Variable Cost per unit = (Total production cost of higher activity - Total
production cost of lower activity) / (Higher units - Lower Units)
Variable Cost per unit = (P6,000-P4,000) / (900units - 500 units) = P5
 Fixed Cost = Total Cost for any activity - (Variable cost per unit * units
produced)
Fixed Cost = P6,000 - (P5 * 900units)
Fixed cost = P1,500

Calculation:
= P5 – P3.74 = P1.26, Higher
= P1,500 – P4,350 = P2,850, Lower

6. Units transferred to Department 2

= P95,000 - P21,000
= P74,000

Units transferred to finished goods

= P74,000 - P12,000
= P62,000

7. Calculation:
Work in Process, beg. – Dept. 1 P 6,000
Started process – Dept. 1 14,000
P 20,000
Work in process, end – Dept. 1 (4,200)
Transferred out to Dept. 2 P 15,800

8. Equivalent units for direct material in department 1 = 80,000 * 100% +

30,000*72%
Equivalent units for direct material in department 1 = 80,000 + 21,600
Equivalent units for direct material in department 1 = 101,600 units

9. Calculation:
= P61,400 + (P18,600*72%)
= P61,400 + P13,392
= P74,792

10. Calculation:
= (P32,000*8.39) + (P20,000*3.19) + (P20,000*1.20)
= P268,480 + P63,800 + P24,000
=P356,280
