Blue Manufacturing purchased a machine on January 1, 2020 for use in its factory. Blue paid $458,000 for the machine and estimated that it had a useful life of 10 years, at the end of which time the machine was expected to have a residual value of $40,000. During its life, the machine was expected to produce 380,000 units. During 2020, the machine produced 41,800 units, and produced 58,600 in 2021. The machine was subject to a 20% CCA rate, and Blue’s year-end was December 31.

1)

Periodically, Merrill Lynch customers are asked to evaluate Merrill Lynch financial consultants and services on a 7-point scale (7 is the maximum). You are a manager with two consultants you are trying to compare. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. You want to test if the consultant with less experience has a rating that is different than the more experienced consultant. So, you collect independent samples of service ratings for these two financial consultants. Consultant A has 11 surveys with a mean of 6.66 and standard deviation of 0.63. Consultant B has 18 surveys with a mean of 6.43 and standard deviation of 0.58. You wish to test the claim at a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05.

  1. What is the test statistic for this sample?

    test statistic =  Round to 4 decimal places.
  2. What is the p-value for this sample?

    p-value =  Round to 4 decimal places.
  3. The p-value is...
    • less than (or equal to) αα
    • greater than αα

  4. This test statistic leads to a decision to...
    • reject the null
    • accept the null
    • fail to reject the null

  5. As such, the final conclusion is that...
    • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the consultant with less experience (B) has a rating that is different than the more experienced consultant (A).
    • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the consultant with less experience (B) has a rating that is different than the more experienced consultant (A).
    • The sample data support the claim that the consultant with less experience (B) has a rating that is different than the more experienced consultant (A).
    • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the consultant with less experience (B) has a rating that is different than the more experienced consultant (A).

2)

A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new, expensive television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating more potential to purchase the product. You want to know if the commercial increased the mean purchase potential rating. You will test the claim at a significance level of  αα = 0.005. To do so, you find a sample of 36 people, you find the mean "after-before" rating to be ¯d=0.4d¯=0.4 with a standard deviation of the differences of sd=sd= 0.8.  

  1. What is the test statistic for this sample?

    test statistic =  Round to 4 decimal places.
  2. What is the p-value for this sample? Round to 4 decimal places.

    p-value =
  3. The p-value is...
    • less than (or equal to) αα
    • greater than αα

  4. This test statistic leads to a decision to...
    • reject the null
    • accept the null
    • fail to reject the null

  5. As such, the final conclusion is that...
    • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean 'after'-'before' rating is greater than 0.
    • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean 'after'-'before' rating is greater than 0.
    • The sample data support the claim that the mean 'after'-'before' rating is greater than 0.
    • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean 'after'-'before' rating is greater than 0.

The Acme Company just bought a new machine that makes markers. In a random sample of 250 markers from the new machine, they find that 235 markers work. They want to test if the true proportion of working markers from the new machine is greater than 90%. Assuming that they use the approximate methodology, find the p-value of the test.

The Acme Company just bought a new machine that makes markers. In a random sample of 250 markers from the new machine, they find that 240 markers work. They want to test if the true proportion of working markers from the new machine is greater than 90%. Which is the correct alternative hypothesis?

1.

Ha: p = 0.90

2.

Ha: p ≤ 0.90

3.

Ha: p < 0.90

4.

Ha: p > 0.90

The Acme Company just bought a new machine that makes markers. They want to test if the true proportion of working markers from the new machine is greater than 90% at the 5% significance level. They take a random sample of 250 markers from the new machine. They find a test statistic of 2.108 with a p-value of 0.0175. Which is the correct conclusion?

1.

There is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the sample proportion of working markers from the new machine is less than 90%.

2.

There is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the proportion of all working markers from the new machine is more than 90%.

3.

There is not sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the sample proportion of working markers from the new machine is more than 90%.

4.

There is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the sample proportion of working markers from the new machine is more than 90%.

A golf instructor is trying out a new technique for teaching her students. She randomly selects twenty of her students. She records the score of each student before the new technique and after the new technique. Is there evidence at α = 0.05 that true mean scores before and after the technique are different? Justify fully! You can assume normal populations where needed. She does not know which test to run, so she runs two. The outputs are given. Which is the correct design and conclusion?

Matched Pairs Design                         Welch’s (Independent) T Test

Test Statistic = 2.268                           Test Statistic = 1.218

p-value = 0.035                                   p-value = 0.231

1.

Using the Welch’s design, there is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the true before and after means are different.

2.

Using the Welch’s design, there is not sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the true before and after means are different.

3.

Using the matched pairs design, there is not sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the true before and after means are different.

4.

Using the matched pairs design, there is sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to support the claim that the true before and after means are different.

Depreciation method straight-line activity straight-line double-declining
Accumulated depreciation through 2019 $21,050 $28,100 $12,000 $26,280


Note: In the year an asset is purchased, Tamarisk does not record any depreciation expense on the asset. In the year an asset is retired or traded in, Tamarisk takes a full year’s depreciation on the asset.

The following transactions occurred during 2020:

1. On May 5, Asset A was sold for $16,750 cash. The company’s bookkeeper recorded this retirement as follows:

2. On December 31, it was determined that Asset B had been used 3,100 hours during 2020.
3. On December 31, before calculating depreciation expense on Asset C, Tamarisk management decided that Asset C’s remaining useful life should be nine years as of year end.
4. On December 31, it was discovered that a piece of equipment purchased in 2019 had been expensed completely in that year. The asset cost $35,000, had a useful life of 10 years when it was acquired, and had no residual value. Management has decided to use the double-declining-balance method for this asset, which can be referred to as “Asset E.” Ignore income taxes.


Prepare any necessary adjusting journal entries required at December 31, 2020, as well as any entries to record depreciation for 2020.
