In a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 75% of complaints they received. (Source: USA Today, March 2, 2009) You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for the computer stores is the 0.75, as mentioned above. Suppose your sample size is 276. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be at least 2 percent more than the population proportion?

Based on historical data, your manager believes that 27% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 191 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time-customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.31 and 0.48?

According to a 2009 Reader's Digest article, people throw away about 9% of what they buy at the grocery store. Assume this is the true proportion and you plan to randomly survey 67 grocery shoppers to investigate their behavior. What is the probability that the sample proportion does not exceed 0.14?

Builder Products, Inc. manufactures a caulking compound that goes through three processing stages prior to completion. Information on work in the first department, cooking, is given below for May:

Materials are added at several stages during the cooking process, whereas labour and overhead costs are incurred uniformly. The company uses the weighted average cost method. The company combines labour and overhead into a single cost category—conversion cost.

Required:
Prepare a production report for the cooking department for May. Use the following three steps in preparing your report:

1. Prepare a quantity schedule and a computation of equivalent units.

2. Compute the costs per equivalent unit for the month. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

3. Using the data from parts (1) and (2), prepare a cost reconciliation. (Round "Cost per equivalent unit" to 3 decimal places and the rest to the nearest dollar amount.)

Note: There is difference of "$27" in both the values due to rounding and we feel a note which reads: "Due to rounding, your "Cost accounted for" may not be equal to "Cost to account for"".

4. Prepare a production report for the cooking department for May. Assuming the company uses the FIFO method. Follow parts (1) to (3). (Leave no cells blank, enter "0" wherever required. Round "Cost per equivalent unit" to 3 decimal places and the rest to the nearest dollar amount.)

3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves

Suppose Ana runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt.

The following graph shows Ana's total cost curve.

Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Ana produces.

Calculate Ana's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven shirts she produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity.

Ana's profit is maximized when she producesshirts. When she does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt she produces is, which is (less or greater) than the price Ana receives for each shirt she sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt than would maximize her profit) is, which is (Greater or less) than the price Ana receives for each shirt she sells. Therefore, Ana's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the   curves. Because Ana is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as   .

Please summarize into short sentences.

1. Marginal revenue and Marginal Cost

2. Four market

3. Production input optimization

4. Prisoners' Dilemma game

5. 1st, 2nd, 3rd Degree price discriminations

Thank you in advance.

Vertical Analysis of Income Statement

Revenue and expense data for Innovation Quarter Inc. for two recent years are as follows:

a. Prepare an income statement in comparative form, stating each item for both years as a percent of sales. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

b. The vertical analysis indicates that the cost of goods sold as a percent of sales (INCREASED/DECREASED)

by 5 percentage points, while selling expenses (INCREASED/DECREASED)

by 2 percentage points, and administrative expenses INCREASED/DECREASED

by 1 percentage points. Thus, net income as a percent of sales (INCREASED/DECREASED)

by 2 percentage points. (INCREASED/DECREASED)
