A magazine collects data each year on the price of a hamburger in a certain fast food restaurant in various countries around the world. The price of this hamburger for a sample of restaurants in Europe in January resulted in the following hamburger prices (after conversion to U.S. dollars).

5.18 4.99 4.06 4.68 5.25 4.66
4.17 4.98 5.19 5.59 5.34 4.60

The mean price of this hamburger in the U.S. in January was $4.63. For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of these European restaurants. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that the mean January price of this hamburger in Europe is greater than the reported U.S. price? Test the relevant hypotheses using α = 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

a) What is the present value of $1,200 per year, at a discount rate of 8 percent, if the first payment is received 9 years from now and the last payment is received 28 years from now?

b) ABC Co. wants to sell you an annuity that will pay you $500 per quarter for 25 years. You want to earn a minimum rate of return of 5.1 percent. What is the most you are willing to pay today to buy this annuity?

c) You are scheduled to receive annual payments of $4,000 for each of the next 8 years. The discount rate is 8 percent.

Part 1: What is the present value if you receive these payments at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year?

Part 2: What is the difference in the present value if you receive these payments at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year?

d) Prepare an amortization schedule for a five-year loan of $60,000. The interest rate is 7 percent per year, and the loan calls for equal annual payments.

Given that the average yearly income of dentists in the year 2012 was $110,000. A sample of 81 dentists, which was taken in 2013, showed an average yearly income of $120,000. Assume the standard deviation of the population of dentists’s incomes in 2012 is $36,000. Using a 5% level of significance, we want to test and determine if there has been a significant increase in the average yearly income of dentists. Compute the test statistic and the p-value.
