Hayden Co. has outstanding $55 million face amount of 6% bonds that were issued on January 1, 2010, for $55,520,000. The 20-year bonds mature on December 31, 2029, and are callable at 102 (that is, they can be paid off at any time by paying the bondholders 102% of the face amount).

Assume that the bonds are called on December 31, 2016. Record the journal entry to show the effect of the retirement of the bonds. (Hint: Calculate the amount paid to bondholders; determine how much of the bond premium would have been amortized prior to calling the bonds; and then calculate the gain or loss on retirement.) (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

The average American eats 1.5 cups of vegetables a day (may not be accurate). A researcher is interested in whether teenagers eat less vegetables on average than does the average American. She takes a sample of 25 teenagers and asks how much vegetables they eat. She finds that the mean amount of vegetables her subjects eat a day is 1.1 cups with a standard deviation of 0.5. What would be the appropriate test for the researcher to use to test whether teenagers actually do eat less vegetables than the average American at an alpha level of .01?

Question 2: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study of the dietary intake of sugar by children.
In the trial a sample of 657 randomly selected American children between the ages of 5 and 12 was chosen, and for each child a seven day food diary was filled in. An analysis of the data showed a sample mean of 134.3 g of sugar per day with a standard deviation of 48.1 g. Using the results from this sample, estimate the 68%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals for the mean daily sugar intake of all American children (i.e., the population mean).
