A consumer research firm believe that men and women shop at malls for different reasons, and spend different amounts of money when they shop. While women shop more frequently and for longer amounts of time, men shop less frequently, but tend to spend more each time when they do shop. The research firm has collected spending data for 40 men and 60 women at a local mall and wish to analyze if men spend more when they shop then women based on this data.

NOTE: For this data set, we are assuming UNEQUAL VARIANCES.

a. Specify the competing Null and Alternate hypotheses that you will use to test the economist’s claim.

Null Hypothesis:

Alternative Hypothesis:

b. Is this a one-tailed test or a two-tailed test? Explain why.

Is this test of “independent samples” or “dependent samples”? Explain why.

c. Calculate the value of the t statistic and the appropriate p-value. Provide mean values, and provide the values for the following variables from the output: Mean Spending by Men: Mean Spending by Women: Test Statistic: p-value:

d. At the 99% confidence level (alpha = 0.01), does the data support the researchers claim? Explain how you came to this conclusion.

Perpetual Inventory Using FIFO

The following units of a particular item were available for sale during the calendar year:

Jan. 1 Inventory 4,000 units at $40
Apr. 19 Sale 2,500 units
June 30 Purchase 4,500 units at $44
Sept. 2 Sale 5,000 units
Nov. 15 Purchase 2,000 units at $46

The firm maintains a perpetual inventory system. Determine the cost of goods sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, assuming the first-in, first-out method. Present the data in the form illustrated in Exhibit 3. Under FIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the LOWER unit cost first in the Cost of Goods Sold Unit Cost column and in the Inventory Unit Cost column.

Your firm is considering expanding its operations which represent the same risk as your current operations....

Your firm is considering expanding its operations which represent the same risk as your current operations. It’s expected to return additional cash flows of $10,000,000 at the end of each of the first five years and $7,000,000 at the end of each of the subsequent five years and a salvage value of $20,000,000 at the end of its 10-year use. Your firm is financed with $80,000,000 in $1,000 par bonds paying semi-annual coupons for an annual coupon rate of 6%, due in 20 years. They currently sell @105. Additionally, your firm is financed with $20,000,000 in common equity currently selling for $10/share which shareholders expect to continue to receive $0.25/share per quarter for the foreseeable future. You may annualize the coupons and dividends for this capital budgeting problem and assume negligible changes in the current expectations of inflation and risk. Your firm pays 40% in taxes. Remember to diagram the cf/time line where applicable.

1.)What is the most you would pay for this expansion? Would you pay more, less, or the same if immediately (a) share prices increase, (b) corporate income tax rates decrease, or (c) your bonds sell at par?
