In an experiment designed to measure the speed of light, a laser is aimed at a mirror that is 47.5 km due north. A detector is placed 116 m due east of the laser. The mirror is to be aligned so that light from the laser reflects into the detector.

(a) When properly aligned, what angle should the normal to the surface of the mirror make with due south?

(b) Suppose the mirror is misaligned, so that the actual angle between the normal to the surface and due south is too large by 0.005

A random sample of leading companies in South Korea gave the following percentage yields based on assets.

2.5 2.2 4.2 1.8 0.9 3.6 2.4
0.2 1.7 1.8 1.4 5.4 1.1

Use a calculator to verify that s2 ≈ 2.034 for these South Korean companies.

Another random sample of leading companies in Sweden gave the following percentage yields based on assets.

2.2 3.7 3.1 1.9 3.5 2.8 2.3 3.5 2.8

Use a calculator to verify that s2 ≈ 0.407 for these Swedish companies.

Test the claim that the population variance of percentage yields on assets for South Korean companies is higher than that for companies in Sweden. Use a 5% level of significance. How could your test conclusion relate to an economist's question regarding volatility of corporate productivity of large companies in South Korea compared with those in Sweden?

(a) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

Ho: σ12 = σ22; H1: σ12 > σ22Ho: σ12 > σ22; H1: σ12 = σ22    Ho: σ22 = σ12; H1: σ22 > σ12Ho: σ12 = σ22; H1: σ12σ22



(b) Find the value of the sample F statistic. (Use 2 decimal places.)


What are the degrees of freedom?

dfN
dfD

What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?

The populations follow dependent normal distributions. We have random samples from each population.The populations follow independent chi-square distributions. We have random samples from each population.    The populations follow independent normal distributions.The populations follow independent normal distributions. We have random samples from each population.


(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

p-value > 0.1000.050 < p-value < 0.100    0.025 < p-value < 0.0500.010 < p-value < 0.0250.001 < p-value < 0.010p-value < 0.001


(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.    At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.


(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is greater in the South Korean companies.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is greater in the South Korean companies.    Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is greater in the South Korean companies.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is greater in the South Korean companies.

Required:

a. Determine the cost of goods sold, ending inventory and gross profit for the month ended October, assume company opts FIFO as a cost flow assumption.

b. Assume Steve has an objective to save taxes, Keeping the price trends of purchases Do you think company has opted the right cost flow assumption? Why or why not.

c.Assume the value of ending inventory is mistakenly overstated by $ 500, how this error effects (over or understates) the following for the period

I.Cost of goods sold

II.Gross profit

d.Equity.Can we apply the idea of inventory shrinkage in this company? If yes record the inventory shrinkage assume a physical count indicates there are 80 units on hand on October 31.
