You are doing some research on the cost of one-bedroom apartments in town. Based on prices from previous years, a real estate agent gives you the information that σ is approximately $55 and μ is approximately $675per month. Assume that price follows roughly a normal distribution. You have randomly selected 25 apartments for which the price was published. The average price for these apartments is ?̅=695. You are to test if μ is less than 675.You set the null and alternative hypotheses as follows:

?0: ?≤ 675 ?? ??: ?>675

a. Compute the test statistic value.

b. If α=0.05, what is the critical value?

c. What is the p value?

d. What is the conclusion if α=0.05?

e. What is the conclusion if α=0.02?

Sturdy little donkeys are used to carry corpulent tourists up the Santorini caldera to the town of Fira. One cruise line that routinely docks at the port is considering a plan to maintain their own donkey herd, which will cost them $15,000 per thousand tourists. The number of tourists needing this service is normally distributed, with a mean of 10,000. Usually, this is enough donkey capacity, but occasionally the cruise line rotates a bigger ship through this route and the excursion director must purchase donkey capacity on the spot market, where it costs $20 per tourist.

 


I. How many donkeys should the cruise line have in its herd?


II. Once a local donkey herder learns of the cruise line's plan, he raises his donkey rental price to $25 per tourist. How many donkeys should be in the cruise line's herd?

III. Once a local donkey herder learns of the cruise line's plan, he lowers his donkey rental price to $17.50 per tourist. How many donkeys should be in the cruise line's herd?

IV. The cruise line's insurance policy limits the number of donkeys in their herd to 5,000. What bulk price should the cruise line negotiate to make the 5,000 donkey herd size optimal?

Trevor is interested in purchasing the local hardware/sporting goods store in the small town of Dove Creek, Montana. After examining accounting records for the past several years, he found that the store has been grossing over $850 per day about 50% of the business days it is open. Estimate the probability that the store will gross over $850 for the following. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(a) at least 3 out of 5 business days


(b) at least 6 out of 10 business days


(c) fewer than 5 out of 10 business days


(d) fewer than 6 out of the next 20 business days


If the outcome described in part (d) actually occurred, might it shake your confidence in the statement p = 0.50? Might it make you suspect that p is less than 0.50? Explain.

Yes. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.Yes. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.    No. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.No. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.


(e) more than 17 out of the next 20 business days


If the outcome described in part (e) actually occurred, might you suspect that p is greater than 0.50? Explain.

Yes. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.Yes. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.    No. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.No. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.50.

The materials were received, the actual cost was $6,585,000. 8. Salaries and wages of $4,010,000 were paid. 9. All outstanding bills were paid. 10. The project was completed. The accounts were closed, and the remaining balance was transferred to a Debt Service Fund. a. Prepare all journal entries (budgetary and actual), including closing entries, to record the Capital Projects Fund transfers for 20X3 and 20X4. b. Prepare a Capital Projects Fund balance sheet as of December 31, 20X3. c.

Can anybody help with the closing entries for both 20x3 and 20x4? I see different answers and could you an explanation, especially on the fund balance/appropriations entry for 20x3. One post showed an entry to fund balance debit $5 mil and credit appropriations $5 mil. When a comment was posted the response was I don't know, just the answer I was given.
