On 3 June 2016, Premier Company bought an equipment at $5,000,000. The useful life of the equipment was estimated to be five years, with a residual value of $500,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation method with half-year convention and adjusts its accounts annually with the year-end on 31 December. Consider the following as two independent assumptions:

(a) Assuming that on 8 May 2019, the company sold the equipment for $1,900,000, receiving $600,000 cash and a two-year, 10% note receivable for the remaining balance. Prepare the journal entries to record the disposal of the equipment on 8 May 2019.

(b) Assuming that on 1 January 2021, the company had added a new component of $300,000 in the equipment to enhance the speed. The company revised the estimated useful life of the equipment from five years to seven years with residual value of $400,000.

(i) Compute the book value of the equipment at 1 January 2021 after upgrade.

(ii) Prepare the journal entries to record the depreciation expense for 2021.

Problem 1: The same group of people rated both brands of coffee. Half of the subjects tasted brand A first. Half of the subjects tasted brand B first.

Is there a difference in the mean ratings between the two brands of coffee (use an alpha .05)?

You must use all five steps in hypothesis testing:

1. Restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations.
2. Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution.
3. Determine the cutoff sample score on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected.
4. Determine your sample’s score on the comparison distribution.
5. Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.

1. Can we conclude that employee age helps in predicting average employee salary? Follow the 7 steps for hypothesis testing. (10 points)
2. Find the sample regression equation and interpret the coefficients. Remember your interpretations should be in terms of the problem. (4 points)
3. Find the coefficient of determination, and interpret its value. (3 points)
4. Use residual analysis to check the validity of the model and fully explain your findings and conclusions. (6 points)
5. Estimate with 95% confidence the average employee salary for all employees that are 35 years old. Predict with 95% confidence the estimated salary for an individual employee that is 35 years old. Write at least one sentence using your confidence interval and at least one sentence using your prediction interval. (6 points)
6. Verify that the p-value for the F is the same as the slope’s t statistic’s p-value, and show that t² = F. (3 points)
7. Attach or include the relevant Minitab output. (6 points)

M8 Assessment: Testing Difference between Means (t-tests)

Concluding Statements for t-tests: These statements should always reflect back on the study and outcome, or results. Practice writing statements for each outcome in your practice problems and homework. Use the following example write-up for problems 7-10.

• An [independent samples or dependent sample] t-test was conducted to determine [state the purpose of the study]. The results revealed [a significant or no significant] difference between [state the groups and/or independent variable] on [state the dependent variable] (t ([degrees of freedom]) = [enter computed value for t], p [< or >]* .05). In fact, [state each group and explain how the means compare].

*The less than (<) sign means the results are significant and the greater than (>) sign means the results are not significant.

Questions 1-3: Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions.

1. Identify the independent variable along with each level and the dependent variable.

2. If true differences existed between the conditions, but they were not detected, what kind of error occurred?

3. If differences in conditions were detected, but did not really exist, what kind of error occurred?

Questions 4-6: A sleep researcher wants to determine whether a new pillow might reduce snoring amongst patients with this type of sleep apnea. Participants are randomly assigned to use the new pillow or a control condition (regular pillow). Their sleep behavior is recorded on audiotape with time snoring. The findings indicate significantly less snoring takes place with the new pillow.

4. Identify the independent variable (and categories) and the dependent variable.

5. Explain a Type I error in terms of this study.

6. Explain a Type II error in terms of this study.

Questions 7-10: Compute the appropriate t-test.

7. A researcher interested in eating behavior wants to determine if scary movies cause people to eat more popcorn than musicals. You randomly assign 10 participants to a group that watches a scary movie (Psycho) and another 10 participants to a group that watches a musical (The Sound of Music). At the beginning of the movie, you give each participant a tub of 84 pieces of popcorn and tell each person not to share their popcorn with anyone. At the end of the movie, you measure the number of pieces of popcorn eaten by each participant. The data are shown below. Based on the results of this t-test, state the conclusions about the difference between the pieces of popcorn eaten by subjects viewing a scary movie versus a musical.

8. An education researcher is interested in the ability of preschool children to solve math story problems. He wants to see if the method of presentation, either as verbal story problems or as visual story problems, makes a difference in preschoolers' abilities to solve the problems correctly. In an example of the verbal condition, a child is asked, "Two birds are sitting on a fence; two more birds fly down and join them. How many birds are on the fence altogether?" In an example of the nonverbal, visual equivalent of this problem, the experimenter presents the child with a picture of two birds on the fence with two birds in the process of landing on the fence and then asks the child, "How many birds are on the fence altogether?" In both conditions, the child responds orally. Shown below is the number of correct answers out of 10 problems for each child. What conclusions about the difference between a preschooler's ability to solve simple math problems presented either verbally or nonverbally can be made from these results?

9. Education researchers were interested in whether the number of close friends changes between the time students enter college and the beginning of their second year of college. A sample of 12 (entering) first-year students was used to examine the question. Data for this sample are shown below.

In a survey, 17 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $34 and standard deviation of $8. Find the margin of error at a 95% confidence level.

Give your answer to two decimal places.

I need this: Your program makes accommodations for repeating digits. For example if the random numbers generated were 141 in that order. Then the user entered 271 in that order, be sure that the last one does not count a match to the first and third numbers of the random numbers. They only matched one number in this case. Now if the random numbers are 141 in that order and the user enters 113, then they did match 2 numbers. If they enter 114 then they match 3 numbers but not in order.

Random random=new Random();
//generating three random numbers (between 0 to 10) and storing it in n1,n2 and n3

1. The following is a simplified duopoly model of competition between two firms. Each firm is restricted to producing 25, 35, 50 or 100 units of output. The details of how the payoffs are derived are unimportant because payoffs are all given in the table below.

                                                                                  FIRM 2

1. Now assume that FIRM 1 is the Stackelberg leader in this market. And FIRM 2 is the follower. Being the leader, FIRM 1 makes the first move in choosing the quantity of output, followed by FIRM 2. Draw the extensive form or the game tree for this sequential form game.

2. Using the game tree, now determine the sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium(s). Describe the process that helps you in determining it.
