A company who conducts weight management of soda for bars concludes that on average the soda bottles weigh 12.29 oz . With a sample size of 36 , and standard deviation of weight from those bottles being 0.09 ounces. The same company went on to test the mean weight of 21 soda bottles for grocery stores and concluded that on average the soda bottles weighed 13.10 oz with a standard deviation of 0.13 ounces. With a 10 percent significance level the firm was asked to test the claim that bottles from grocery stores are generally heavier than those from the bars.

Suppose Chance Chemical Products management conducts a study and concludes that if it expands into a consumer products division (which is less risky than its primary business of industrial chemicals), the firm's beta would decline from 1.2 to 0.9.  However consumer products have a somewhat lower profit margin, and this would cause Chance's constant growth rate in earnings and dividends to fall from 7 to 5 percent. Should management undertake this change assuming that the average market return is 12% will...

The management of a soda company wanted to determine the average number of ounces of soda consumed per resident in the state of Pennsylvania. Past trends indicate that the variation in soda consumption (σ) was 4 ounces. A 95% confidence level is required, and the error is not to exceed +/- 1/2 ounce. (a) What sample size would you recommend? Show your calculations. (b) The management wanted an estimate twice as precise as the initial precision level and an increase...

1.     (a) Suppose Carter Chemical Company's management conducts a study and concludes that if Carter expands its consumer products division (which is less risky than its primary business, industrial chemicals), the firm's beta will decline from 1.1 to 0.9. However, consumer products have a somewhat lower profit margin, and this will cause Carter's growth rate in earnings and dividends to fall from 7 percent to 6 percent. Should management make the change? Assume the following: E[RM]= 10%; RF=7.5%; D0 =$2....
