The following information for 2020 for Vinnie`s Cream Pie Fillings is available: Baking capacity 3,000 tonnes of filling Tonnage sold in year 1,800 Sales $900,000 Variable costs 495,000 Contribution margin $405,000 Fixed costs Manufacturing 90,000 Selling 112,500 Administration 45,000 Income before taxes $157,500 Income taxes @ 40% 63,000 Net income $ 94,500 Instructions Consider each of the following scenarios independently: a) Calculate the break-even volume in tonnes for the year. b) If Vinnie expects to sell 2,100 tonnes of filling next year, calculate the expected aftertax income, assuming costs and prices remain the same. c) Vinnie`s cousin says he can sell pie filling to a new company in a nearby city but will require Vinnie to pay $61,500 to advertise the product. In addition, Vinnie will have to pay his cousin $25 for each tonne sold. Calculate the number of tones that will have to be sold to maintain the current after-tax net income. d) Vinnie wants to ramp up production by investing in a new machine that will cost $58,500. The benefit will be that variable costs will decrease by $25 per tonne. Calculate the new break even if the new machine is purchased. e) Assume instead that Vinnie does not purchase the machine or begin selling in the new city. He is worried that per-tonne selling prices will decline by 10% and variable costs will increase by $40 per tonne. Calculate the sales volume in dollars needed if Vinnie is to maintain his after-tax income of $94,500.

Tai Chi is often recommended as a way to improve balance and flexibility in the elderly. Below are
before-and-after flexibility ratings (on a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being most flexible) for a random sample of 8 men in their 80's who took Tai Chi lessons for six months.
Subject A B C D E F G H
Flexibility rating after Tai Chi 2 4 3 3 3 4 5 10
Flexibility rating before Tai Chi 1 2 1 2 1 4 2 10
(a) Explain why these are paired data.
(b) Calculate and interpret the mean difference.
(c) Researchers would like to know if the true mean difference (after-before) in flexibility rating for men in their 80's who take Tai Chi lessons for 6 months is greater than zero. The P-value of this test is 0.004. Interpret this value.
(d) If the result of this study is statistically significant, can you conclude that the difference in the mean flexibility rating was caused by the Tai Chi lessons? Why or why not?
