heuristics to be able to analyze the large amount of data that has become available. Data Mining has especially become popular in the fields of forensic science, fraud analysis and healthcare, for it reduces costs in time and money. One of the definitions of Data Mining is; “Data Mining is a process that consists of applying data analysis and discovery algorithms that, under acceptable computational efficiency limitations, produce a particular enumeration of patterns (or models) over the data” [4].

CLASSIFICATION OF COSTS: Manufacturing We first classify costs according to the three elements of cost: a) Materials b) Labour c) Expenses Product and Period Costs: We also classify costs as either 1 Product costs: the costs of manufacturing our products; or 2 Period costs: these are the costs other than product costs that are charged to, debited to, or written off to the income statement each period. The classification of Product Costs:

Y Outcome (number of heads) Probability Y −1.96 and < −1.96. Solving these inequalities yields n ≥ 9220. 18. Pr (Y = $0) = 0.95, Pr (Y = $20000) = 0.05. (a) The mean of Y is μY = 0 × Pr (Y = $0) + 20, 000 × Pr (Y = $20000) = $1000. The variance of Y is 2 σ Y = E ⎢ ( Y − μY ) ⎢ ⎡ ⎣ 2⎤ ⎥ ⎥ ⎦ = (0 − 1000)2 × Pr (Y = 0 ) + (20000 − 1000)2 × Pr (Y = 20000) = (−1000)2 × 0.95 + 19000 2 × 0.05 = 1.9 × 10 7, so the standard deviation of Y is σ Y = (1.9 × 107 ) 2 = $4359. 1 2 (b) (i) E (Y

MULTIPLE CHOICE (CHAPTER 4) 1. Using a sample of 100 consumers, a double-log regression model was used to estimate demand for gasoline. Standard errors of the coefficients appear in the parentheses below the coefficients. Ln Q = 2.45 -0.67 Ln P + . 45 Ln Y - .34 Ln Pcars (.20) (.10) (.25) Where Q is gallons demanded, P is price per gallon, Y is disposable income, and Pcars is a price index for cars.

APPENDIX Checklists A Checklist A-1 Reviewing a Budget 1. Is this budget static (not adjusted for volume) or flexible (adjusted for volume during the year)? 2. Are the figures designated as fixed or variable? 3. Is the budget for a defined unit of authority? 4. Are the line items within the budget all expenses (and revenues, if applicable) that are controllable by the manager? 5. Is the format of the budget comparable with that of previous periods so that several reports over time can be
