The popularity of computer, video, online, and virtual reality games has raised concerns about their ability to negatively impact youth. The data in this exercise are based on a recent survey of 14- to 18-year-olds in Connecticut high schools. Here are the grade distributions of boys who have and have not played video games.

The null hypothesis "no relationship" says that in the population of all 14- to 18- year-old boys in Connecticut, the proportions who have each grade average are the same for those who play and don't play video games.

(a) Find the expected cell counts if this hypothesis is true, and display them in a two-way table. Check that the row and column totals agree with the totals for the observed counts. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A vehicle quality survey asked new owners a variety of questions about their recently purchased automobile. One question asked for the owner’s rating of the vehicle using categorical responses of average, outstanding, and exceptional. Another question asked for the owner’s education level with the categorical responses some high school, high school graduate, some college, and college graduate. Assume the sample data below are for 500 owners who had recently purchased an automobile.

a. Use a .05 level of significance and a test of independence to determine if a new owner's vehicle quality rating is independent of the owner's education.

Compute the value of the x^2 test statistic (to 2 decimals). _________

The p-value is _________

What is your conclusion?

__________(Cannot Conclude/Conclude) that the quality rating is not independent of the education of the owner.

b. Use the overall percentage of average, outstanding, and exceptional ratings to comment upon how new owners rate the quality of their recently purchased automobiles.

New owners ________(do not appear/appear) to be satisfied with the recent purchase of their automobile. _________% of owners rated their automobile as Outstanding or Exceptional.

A school district undertakes an experiment to estimate the effect of class size on test scores in second-grade classes. The district assigns 50% of its previous year’s first graders to small second-grade classes (18 students per classroom) and 50% to regular-size classes (21 students per classroom). Students new to the district are handled differently: 20% are randomly assigned to small classes and 80% to regular-size classes. At the end of the second-grade school year, each student is given a standardized test. Let Yi denote the test score for the ith student, Xi denote a binary variable that equals 1 if the student is assigned to a small class, and Wi denote a binary variable that equals 1 if the student is newly enrolled. Let β1 denote the causal effect on test scores of reducing class size from regular to small.

a. Consider the regression Yi= β0 + β1Xi+ ui. Do you think that E[ui|Xi] = 0? Is the OLS estimator of β1 unbiased and consistent? Explain.

b. Consider the regression Yi= β0 + β1Xi + β2Wi+ ui. Do you think that E[ui|XiWi] depends on Xi? Is the OLS estimator of β1 unbiased and consistent? Explain. Do you think that E[ui|Xi,Wi] depends on Wi? Will the OLS estimator of β2 provide an unbiased and consistent estimate of the causal effect of transferring to a new school (that is, being a newly enrolled student)? Explain.

1.A firm has a significant amount of debt outstanding and its operations hit a rough patch. If it appears that bankruptcy is imminent, the firm’s management may invest in high-risk projects having a negative NPV because:

A.the firm’s equity beta is now negative.

B.the firm’s debt beta is now negative.

C.corporate income taxes are no longer a concern.

D.the firm’s debt holders bear most of the project’s downside risk.

2.Home Builder Supply, a retailer in the home improvement industry, currently operates seven retail outlets in Georgia and South Carolina. Management is contemplating building an eighth retail store across town from its most successful retail outlet. The company already owns the land for this store, which currently has an abandoned warehouse located on it. Last month, the marketing department spent $10,000 on market research to determine whether to build and open the new store. Which of the following should not be included as part of the incremental free cash flows for evaluating the proposed new retail store?

A.The cost of demolishing the abandoned warehouse and clearing the lot.

B.The expected loss of sales at its existing retail outlet, if customers who previously drove across town to shop at the existing outlet become customers of the new store instead.

C.The $10,000 in market research spent to evaluate customer demand.

D.Construction costs for the new store.

E.The value of the land if sold. There is currently an offer of $250,000 from an interested buyer

3.The pecking order theory of capital structure predicts that firms will fund positive NPV projects first with internally generated funds, then with debt, and finally with new equity. What is the primary insight of the pecking order story theory that leads to this funding ordering in which equity is only issued as a last resort?

A.Issuing debt is always superior to issuing equity because interest paid to debtholders is tax deductible whereas dividends paid to shareholders are not.

B.The opportunity cost of internally generated funds is low in comparison to issuing new debt or equity because the alternative to retaining the funds and investing in new projects is to pay the funds out as dividends.

C.Issuing equity dilutes earnings per share.

D.Investors and managers are asymmetrically informed about the firm’s operations and value. There is an adverse selection cost of issuing equity because investors believe a firm is likely to issue equity when management believes the firm’s stock is overpriced.

Srini Nair owns and operates a grocery store in Fort McMurray. He has a number of employees including Ragini Sharma who is his assistant manager. Ragini has very limited authority to act on Srini’s behalf. One day while Srini was out of town, a distributor of produce offers Ragini a great deal on fiddleheads, a delicacy from New Brunswick. Due to the perishable nature of fiddleheads, the deal is only available for one day. As Srini’s grocery store caters to many transplanted New Brunswickers, Ragini places an order. When Srini returns the next day and the fiddleheads arrive, he rejects them on the basis that he has never heard of anyone ever eating fiddleheads.

i. Is Srini bound to accept and pay for the fiddleheads?

ii. How should businesses like Srini’s deal with the risk of employees exceeding their authority to act on behalf of the business?
