The company decide on whether and how to induce a manager to put in high effort to increase the chances that the project succeeds. the value of a successful project is $1 million; the probability of success given high effort is 0.5: the probability of success given low effort is 0.25. the manager's utility is the square root of compensation (measured in millions of dollars), and his disutility from exerting high effort is 0.1. however, the reservation wage of the manager is now $160,000.what contract does the company offer if it wants only low effort from the manager? what is the expected profit to the company when it induces low managerial effort? what contract pair (y, x) – where y is the salary given for a successful project and x is the salary given for a failed project – should the company offer the manager to induce high effort? what is the company's expected profit when it induces high effort? which level of effort does the company want to induce from its manager? why?

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)? $
