Option 1: Continue to sell through Park Beauty Products by selling them the perfume in bulk loads of 750 liters at a cost of $150 USD per liter. Let them handle everything at their cost.   VGI receives a net payment of $15 USD per bottle.

Option 2: Sell a license for production to SohnCo Fragrances of Seoul, Korea. They will also manage marketing and distribution of the perfume. SohnCo Fragrances will charge VGI a fixed fee of $2 million USD per year to cover marketing costs. SohnCo Fragrances will pay VGI $25 USD per bottle of VGI products it sells in Asia.

Option 3: Create a new enterprise, VGI Asia, by building a small plant for $15 million USD. Annual fixed costs are estimated to be $1.5 million USD and variable costs are $0.60 per bottle.

The United States and Japan often engage in intense trade negotiations. U.S. officials claim that Japanese manufacturers price their goods higher in Japan than in the United States, in effect subsidizing the low prices in the United States with extremely high prices in Japan. According to the U.S. argument, Japanese manufactures accomplish this by preventing U.S. good from reaching the market.

An economist decides to test the hypothesis that higher retail prices are being charged for automobiles in Japan than in the United States. She obtains independent samples from 50 retail sales in the United States and 50 sales in Japan over the same time. She found the sample average of the U.S. sales to be 26,596 and the sample average of the Japanese sales to be 27,236. The standard deviations were 1,981 and 1,974 respectively.

Using an alpha of 5%, conduct a hypothesis test.
