A consumer may consume food x and hours of leisure time h. The price of one unit of food is $1. Initially, the consumer has no money and 24 hours of spare time that she may devote either to work, or to leisure. The consumer earns wage rate s per hour for the first five hours of work, and s′ per hour for additional overtime hours. She also faces a tax rate of t percent on labor income earned above amount M. Draw the consumer’s budget set for the following two cases of parameter values:
1. s=$6,s′ =$8,t=30%,M=$70; 2. s=$5,s′ =$7,t=40%,M=$20.
Which bundle(s) correspond to kink(s) of the consumer budget constraint?

2.When creating a revolve feature, which objects can be used as an axis of revolution?
3.Explain how to create a linear diameter (diametric) dimension on a sketch.
4.Name two ways to edit an existing feature.
5.True__ False__ Once a sketch becomes a base feature, you cannot delete or add constraints, dimensions, or objects to the sketch.
6.True__ False__ By default geometry that is projected from one face to a sketch will update automatically based on changes to the original projected geometry.
7.Explain what the Asymmetric option does for the extrude and revolve commands.
8.Where do you set the physical material property of a part?
9.True__ False__ After setting a part’s material properties, the Appearance setting in the Quick Access Toolbar must be set to Color Matching for the appearance to match the material of the part.

Periodic Inventory by Three Methods; Cost of Merchandise Sold
The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows:
| Jan. 1 | Inventory | 40 units @ $130 |
| Mar. 10 | Purchase | 70 units @ $140 |
| Aug. 30 | Purchase | 20 units @ $146 |
| Dec. 12 | Purchase | 70 units @ $150 |
There are 80 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used.
Determine the inventory cost and the cost of merchandise sold by three methods. Round interim calculations to one decimal and final answers to the nearest whole dollar.
| Cost of Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Merchandise Sold | ||
| Inventory Method | Merchandise Inventory | Merchandise Sold |
| First-in, first-out (FIFO) | $ | $ |
| Last-in, first-out (LIFO) | ||

A study was conducted to determine the success rates of students enrolled in the Statistics courses offered at South Plains College for the fall semester of 2015. A random sample of 14 students was taken, and we recorded each student’s age, final average, gender, # hours worked per week, race, and the attendance record (# of classes not attended this semester). Use the results from the table to answer all parts of #2.
j. If one student is randomly selected from the sample, what is the probability that he/she will be over 25 years old? (2 pts)
k. For part j., did you use the classical, relative frequency (empirical), or subjective approach? (1 pt)
l. If three students are randomly selected, find the probability that at least one is a male. (3 pts)
m. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean age of all Statistics students this semester. (3 pts)
REGRESSION ANALYSIS: FINAL AVERAGE (Y) VS. ATTENDANCE RECORD (X)
p. Construct a scatterplot (2 pts)
q. Compute the correlation coefficient (3 pts)
r. Compute the regression equation. (3 pts)
s. Predict the student’s final average if he/she has a total of 3 absences. (2 pts)

Commonwealth Construction (CC) needs $2 million of assets to get started, and it expects to have a basic earning power ratio of 10%. CC will own no securities, so all of its income will be operating income. If it so chooses, CC can finance up to 50% of its assets with debt, which will have an 8% interest rate. If it chooses to use debt, the firm will finance using only debt and common equity, so no preferred stock will be used. Assuming a 40% tax rate on all taxable income, what is the difference between CC's expected ROE if it finances these assets with 50% debt versus its expected ROE if it finances these assets entirely with common stock? Round your answer to two decimal places.

An investigator analyzed the leading digits from 787 checks issued by seven suspect companies. The frequencies were found to be 4, 11, 2, 72, 371, 281, 7, 16, and 23, and those digits correspond to the leading digits of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively. If the observed frequencies are substantially different from the frequencies expected with Benford's law shown below, the check amounts appear to result from fraud. Use a 0.025 significance level to test for goodness-of-fit with Benford's law. Does it appear that the checks are the result of fraud?
