Your company is considering out-sourcing the sales and marketing to an agency specializing in these types of sales. The outsourcing would remove the commissions, reduce the marketing by $270,000, and reduce the fixed administrative expenses by $35,000. The out-sourcing firm, Jangler Marketing, will charge a fee of 14% of sales. Jangler requires a 3-year contract. Jangler believes that it can increase sales by 10% for 2019 and 13% each year after (2020 and 2021). The company believes that with its current sales and marketing staff, sales will increase by 8% for 2019 and 9% in each year after (2020 and 2021).

1.Prepare contribution format projected income statements for 2019, 2020 & 202a assuming the company hires Jangler Marketing.

2.Prepare contribution format projected income statements assuming the outsourcing is rejected.

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at row B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

B: Percent increase
for company
8 4 6 18 6 4 21 37
A: Percent increase
for CEO
30 27 18 14 -4 19 15 30

Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. (Let d = BA.)

(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(c) Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level α?

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