In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at row B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

B: Percent increase
for company
26 25 27 18 6 4 21 37
A: Percent increase
for CEO
21 23 22 14 −4 19 15 30

Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. (Let d = BA.)

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Is fishing better from a boat or from the shore? Pyramid Lake is located on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. Presidents, movie stars, and people who just want to catch fish go to Pyramid Lake for really large cutthroat trout. Let row B represent hours per fish caught fishing from the shore, and let row A represent hours per fish caught using a boat. The following data are paired by month from October through April.

Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb March April
B: Shore 1.4 1.8 2.0 3.2 3.9 3.6 3.3
A: Boat 1.3 1.3 1.6 2.2 3.3 3.0 3.8

Use a 1% level of significance to test if there is a difference in the population mean hours per fish caught using a boat compared with fishing from the shore. (Let d = BA.)

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

In Unit 3 we learn about recognition of revenue and expenses, and the proper timing of their recording in the firm's accounting records.

For those of us accustomed to thinking of revenue and expense occurring at the time payments are made and money changes hands, this may be a new and unfamiliar concept - but it is an important one.

Discuss the difference between accrual basis accounting and cash basis accounting. Please remember to create your submission in your own words. Feel free to include brief quotes from your sources (with citations) but do not copy and paste from the source material.
