A U.S. based internet company offers an on-line proficiency course in
basic accounting. Completion of this online course satisfies the "Fundamentals of Accounting"
course requirement in many MBA programs. In the first semester 315 students have enrolled in
the course. The marketing research manager divided the country into seven regions of
approximately equal populations. The course enrollment values in each of the seven regions
are given below. The management wants to know if there is equal interest in the course across
all regions. (Hint: To answer this question you must determine the expected frequency per
region if it is equal)
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses
b. What is the test statistic?
c. Using a .05 significance level, what is the decision rule?
d. Show the test statistic and essential calculations.
e. Interpret you results

Shrieves Casting Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by Sidney Johnson, a recently graduated MBA. The cost of new machinery for the new product line would be $644,000. The machinery has economic life of eight years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the machine. The new line would generate incremental sales of 70,000 units per year at variable cost per unit of $21 and fixed cost of $725,000 per year. Each unit can be sold for $37 in the first year. The sale price and cost are both expected to remain the same. The firm’s tax rate is 35 percent, and the rate of return required for this type of investment is 15 percent. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within +/-10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV.

Susan lives in the US and has $1000 to invest. She has to decide between buying a one year CD (certificate of deposit) from a bank in the US or one in France. The US CD, denominated in dollars, pays an interest rate of 3%, while French CD, denominated in Euro, pays an interest rate of 2%. The dollar-euro spot rate is 1.4 and the dollar–euro forward rate is 1.5. What should Susan do?

Jetta production cost in 2002 and 2003 was 14,000 Euro per Jetta. Jetta sold in US at $15,000 in 2002 and 2003. Forward hedge exchange rate was 1 $/Euro in 2003. Rate without hedge (i.e. market exchange rate) was 1.25$/Euro in 2003. If 12,000 Jetta were sold in US, in 2003, by 60% forward hedge and 40% not hedged. What would be profits or loss from sales of 12,000 Jetta in US?
