) Suppose you work for Meijer, a large grocer headquartered in Michigan. 20 years ago, Meijer bought a parcel of land on the outskirts of Lafayette, Indiana. It is currently being rented to a farmer. They intended to build a new store on the lot after a proposed new highway was complete. However, when the new highway was built it went in a different direction and now they must decide whether to build the new store. You ask around and find the following information from the following departments (all numbers are in thousands of dollars):
The sales department tells you: Annual Revenue: $2400
The operations department tells you: Inventory Required on Shelves: $140 Annual Cost of Goods Sold: $1500 Annual Cost of Running Store: $500 Annual Allocated Overhead from HQ: $80
The forecasting department tells you: Loan to fund construction: $300 Interest Rate: 4%, loan is interest only (no principle payments) Weighted Average Cost of Capital: 13% Depreciation Schedule: Straight-line depreciation over 40 years Tax Rate: 30%
The construction department tells you: Cost of environmental review (already completed): $65 Purchase Price of Land 20 years ago: $1000 (hint: land is not depreciated) Current Market Value of Land: $1100 (hint: land is not depreciated) Current Pre-Tax Income from renting land out: $75/year Cost of Construction (Labor & Materials): $1800

1 POINT

Suppose a chef claims that her meatball weight is less than 4 ounces, on average. Several of her customers do not believe her, so the chef decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level, to persuade them. She cooks 14 meatballs. The mean weight of the sample meatballs is 3.7 ounces. The chef knows from experience that the standard deviation for her meatball weight is 0.5 ounces.

  • H0: μ≥4; Ha: μ<4
  • α=0.1 (significance level)

What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places?

1 POINT

Kenneth, a competitor in cup stacking, claims that his average stacking time is 8.2 seconds. During a practice session, Kenneth has a sample stacking time mean of 7.8 seconds based on 11 trials. At the 4% significance level, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that Kenneth's mean stacking time is less than 8.2 seconds? Accept or reject the hypothesis given the sample data below.

  • H0:μ=8.2 seconds; Ha:μ<8.2 seconds
  • α=0.04 (significance level)
  • z0=−1.75
  • p=0.0401

Select the correct answer below:

Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04.

Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04.

Reject the null hypothesis because the value of z is negative.

Reject the null hypothesis because |−1.75|>0.04.

You operate your own small building company and have decided to bid on a government contract to build a pedestrian walkway in a national park during the coming winter. The walkway is to be of standard government design and should involve no unexpected costs. Your present capacity utilization rate is moderate and allows sufficient scope to understand this contract, if you win it. You calculate your incremental costs to be $268,000 and your fully allocated costs to be $440,000. Your usual practice is to add between 60% and 80% to your incremental costs, depending on capacity utilization rate and other factors. You expect three other firms to also bid on this contract, and you have assembled the following competitor intelligence about those companies.

William Prout (1815) proposed that all other atoms are built up of hydrogen atoms, suggesting that all elements should have integral atomic masses based on an atomic mass of one for hydrogen. This hypothesis appeared discredited by the discovery of atomic masses, such as 24.3 u for magnesium and 35.5 u for chlorine. In terms of modern knowledge, explain why Prout’s hypothesis is actually quite reasonable.
