Use the following information on Black Red to answer questions 14 – 18.

JDL is considering whether to discontinue offering credit to customers who currently have late payments on the credit extended to them. Current annual credit sales are $10 million and such a change in policy is expected to reduce sales by 15 percent, cut the firm’s bad-debt losses from 8 to 4 percent, and reduce average collection period from 70 days to 45 days. The firm’s variable cost ratio is 0.80 and its required pretax return on receivables and inventory investments is 25 percent. Because of the anticipated decrease in sales, the company expects its inventories to decrease by $200,000.

Determine the lost profit contribution due to this credit-tightening policy (because sales have decreased).

Determine the benefit of less investment in accounts receivable.

Determine the benefit of less bad-debt loss.

Determine the benefit of less investment in inventory.

Determine the net change in pretax profits due to this policy tightening.

PLEASE DO NOT HANDWRITE

  1. A certain golf club manufacturer advertises that its new driver (the club you use to hit golf balls off the tee) will increase the distance that golfers achieve relative to their current driver. We decide to test this claim by having 15 golfers hit a drive using the new driver, and then hit one using their current driver. Here are the data for 15 people, with yardages using both clubs:

  1. Show a side-by-side boxplot of the driving distances for the current and new drivers as well as the difference between new and current drivers (a total of three boxplots, side-by-side. Conduct a paired t-test to test whether the new driver produces longer drives, on average, when compared to the current driver using .05 as the probability of a Type 1 error. State your hypotheses, and be sure to check the conditions for your test. State the P-value of your test. (Feel free to use R in showing your work - and show your commands and output if using R.)
  2. By using a 95% confidence interval, estimate the true difference in length produced by the new driver relative to the current one, and explain what this confidence interval means in context of this problem. (Feel free to use R in showing your work - and show your commands and output if using R.)

When dealing with issues such as professional ethics, the stakes can be high. This is why such care is taken to painstakingly clarify terms such as integrity and independence in the AICPA Professional Code of Conduct, as they could otherwise be open to interpretation. In this week's discussion, you will find illustrative examples of these key principles to share and discuss with your peers.

First, review the terms and definitions identified in the "Principles of Professional Conduct" section of the preamble to the AICPA Professional Code of Conduct. Select one of the principles (e.g., responsibilities, public interest, integrity, objectivity and independence, due care, or scope and nature of services) and research a current event that demonstrates that principle being threatened or otherwise not adhered to. (This does not need to be a case strictly about accounting—it could be any relevant business scenario. If you have trouble finding a current event, you can create a hypothetical scenario related to your final project business.)

Evaluate your business idea

It is often difficult to figure out how to research your business idea, especially if you have never been in business for
yourself. You will need to decide if your business idea has profit potential.
Use the following twenty steps as a guide to help you determine if your business idea is viable. There may be some
questions you are unable to answer or answer fully. This is an indication of the areas of your proposed business you
don’t know enough about and a great launching pad for your market research.
THE STEPS
1 CREATE A CUSTOMER PROFILE
Your customers might be consumers or retail stores, wholesalers or manufacturers, government or other institutions.
List as many points as you can about who you think will buy your product. If you are selling to a consumer market,
list their age, gender, marital status, and income, and try to describe their lifestyle.
If you expect to sell to another business or organization, assess what industries they are in, what kind of company
they are, how long they have been in business, how many employees they have, annual sales, what department
would be interested in your offer, and who their customers are.
2 LIST AND DESCRIBE THE FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF YOUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
State how these features will benefit your customer. Define the features of your idea and determine what these
features do for your customer. You will create a list of the selling points that you can use in your advertising, your
brochures, and in your sales presentation. This will help you establish why your customer might buy your product or
service over that of your competitor.
3 DEFINE YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Are selling to your neighborhood? British Columbia? Globally? By defining where you are going to sell, you will likely
be able to figure out how many potential customers are located in this area. If you are selling to a large geographic
area, you will likely need a good deal of money, marketing, and resources. Defining this area makes it much easier
to figure out what your needs are going to be. It will help focus your area of concentration when conducting market
research.


to evaluate the business idea all the information is there

In Lesson Ten you’ve worked with techniques for conducting hypothesis tests for two means or two proportions. Work through the following exercise.

Two types of medication for hives are being tested. The manufacturer claims that the new medication B is more effective than the standard medication A and undertakes a comparison to determine if medication B produces relief for a higher proportion of adult patients within a 30-minute time window. 20 out of a random sample of 200 adults given medication A still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. 12 out of another random sample of 200 adults given medication B still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. The hypothesis test is to be carried out at a 1% level of significance.

Given that i=0.09; i*=0.0025; F(HC/FC )= 7.80; S(HC/FC) = 7.30, discuss if there is an arbitrage opportunity. What would you do if you are an arbitrageur?

Considering the actions that arbitrageurs are likely to take, explain in detail what you expect to happen (movements) for IRP condition to hold again?

1. Use numbers and a S-D diagram.

Supply and Demand for balloon rides.

Quantity Demanded Price Quantity Supplied
40 $50.00 0
35 $100.00 10
30 $150.00 20
25 $200.00 30
20 $250.00 40
15 $300.00 50

a. Graph the Supply and Demand curves on graph paper, label everything. Find the equilibrium price and quantity using your graph.

b. Let’s evaluate a price cap on balloon rides at $100 per ride. Use your graph and the table to find the new price and quantity in this market. Then, explain who is helped by the policy and who is hurt, using numbers in your sentences.

2. Reproduce the same S-D diagram for balloon rides, but this time shade and label the areas of consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS). Use at least half a page for the graph. Label the areas with numbers and explain who gains and loses each area. Show the deadweight loss of the price control on the graph and explain in words.

3. Let’s think about some possible complications that might be caused by this price control on balloon rides. If price ceilings cause shortages (they do), then how might market participants respond to those shortages. What else might the government need to do? Can you think of some other side effects created by price controls?
