A lumberyard contracted with a retail home improvement company to provide the company with pine boards of various lengths and amounts. The contract was silent as to delegation, and the lumberyard, acting in good faith, delegated its duties under the contract to a third party. After asking for, and receiving, assurances from the third party that the boards would conform to contract specifications, the company accepted the delegation. The third party delivered the boards, which the company rejected because the shipment did not conform to its specifications. The company sued both the lumberyard and the third party. The lumberyard moved to dismiss the claims against it. Should the court dismiss the suit against the lumberyard?

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)? $
