The vehicle operating cost in the static or planning budget for January would be closest to $6,956.

Further Explanation:

Budget:

Budget is a future estimate of the operating activities of the business. Budget is prepared for a future definite time. There are various types of budgets such as sales budget, production budget, cash budget, overhead budget and master budget. Budget estimates the future sales, production, overheads.

Static budget:

Static budget is type of budget that does not vary the amount with the significant change in the volume. The amount of the static budget would always vary from the actual results because static budget does not vary with the change in the volume.

Calculate the operating cost in planning cost for Dallas for the month of January:

The operating cost (planning budget) will include the vehicle operating cost and additional cost on the snow-day. The operating cost of the vehicle is $2,060. The show-day cost per day is $306 and the planned snow-days are 16. Therefore, the operating cost will be calculated as follows:

$\text{Operating cost in planning cost}= \text{Vehicle operating cost}+\text{Snow-day cost}\\=\$2,060+\$4,896}\\=\$6,956}$

Thus, the vehicle operating cost in the static or planning budget for January would be closest to $6,956.

Working note:

Calculate the snow-day cost:

$\text{Snow-day cost}=\text{Planned snow days}\times\text{Snow-day cost/day}\\=16\times\$306\\\text{=\$4,896}$

The total snow-day cost is $4,896.

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)? $
