Gyrdir ehf. manufactures and sells one type of leather belts for 2,500 kr. piece. Production for each belt, all variable, amounts to 1,000 kr. Gyrdir is planning to rent a booth on the forthcoming fashion show in the Exhibition Hall. Gyrdir ehf. can choose between the following rental terms for the sales booth:

1. to pay only a fixed rent before the show, kr. 501,000.

2. to pay a fixed amount of kr. 400,000 and an additional 10% of sales revenue.

3. to pay 20% of the sales revenue but no fixed amount.

Requested:

a) What does Gyrdir ehf. have to sell many multiple belts to reach a break-even point, based on

which of these three options?

b) What choice should Gyrdir ehf. choose if he expects to sell 800 belts at the show? Show

calculations to justify the choice.

(x) Suppose that the CPI was 200 in 2006 and was 160 in 1996. Then according to the CPI, $100 in 2006 purchased the same amount of goods and services as $80 in 1996.

2. Which of the following statements is (are) correct?
(x) Suppose that the CPI was 200 in 2006 and was 160 in 1996. Then according to the CPI, $100 in 2006 purchased the same amount of goods and services as $80 in 1996.
(y) A worker received $5 for a daily wage in 1930. If the CPI was 17.4 in 1930 and is 215.6 today then the value of that 1930 wage in today’s dollars is more than $68.25 but less than $69.75.
(z) A business firm has an agreement with its workers to index completely the wage of its employees using the CPI. The company currently pays its production line workers $12.00 an hour and is scheduled to index their wages today. If the CPI is currently 180 and was 160 a year ago, the firm should increase the hourly wages of its workers by $1.50.

Matthew (48 at year-end) develops cutting-edge technology for SV Inc., located in Silicon Valley. In 2017, Matthew participates in SV’s money purchase pension plan (a defined contribution plan) and in his company’s 401(k) plan. Under the money purchase pension plan, SV contributes 15 percent of an employee’s salary to a retirement account for the employee up to the amount limited by the tax code. Because it provides the money purchase pension plan, SV does not contribute to the employee’s 401(k) plan. Matthew would like to maximize his contribution to his 401(k) account after SV’s contribution to the money purchase plan. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

Assuming Matthew’s annual salary is $455,000.

a-1. What amount will SV contribute to Matthew’s money purchase plan?

Assuming Matthew’s annual salary is $284,000.

b-1. What amount will SV contribute to Matthew’s money purchase plan?

b-2. What can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2017?

Assuming Matthew’s annual salary is $76,000.

c-1. What amount will SV contribute to Matthew’s money purchase plan?

c-2. What amount can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2017?

d. Assume the same facts as part c, except that Matthew is 54 years old at the end of 2017. What amount can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2017?

A sociologist interested in salesperson-consumer interaction wanted to know if customers really are influenced to buy more from sales clerks who smile. To test this, clerks at eight stores in a large Canadian clothing chain were given special instructions at the start of a week, and the number of sales over the week were recorded. Four of the stores were randomly selected to have the clerks receive instructions to be especially courteous and to smile a lot. Clerks at four other stores were simply instructed to be especially courteous. Sales (in thousands of dollars) for the four stores in the smile condition were 36, 40, 36, and 44; sales for the four stores in the control condition were 40, 31, 27, and 30. Do these results suggest that customers might buy more if they encounter smiling sales clerks? (Use the .05 level.)

Choose the appropriate test and use the five steps of hypothesis testing.
