Adams Sporting Goods Corporation makes two types of racquets, tennis and badminton. The company uses the same facility to make both products even though the processes are quite different. The company has recently converted its cost accounting system to activity-based costing. The following are the cost data that Jane Price, the cost accountant, prepared for the third quarter of 2018 (during which Adams made 70,000 tennis racquets and 29,400 badminton racquets).

   
Inspectors are paid according to the number of actual hours worked, which is determined by the number of racquets inspected. Engineers who set up equipment for both products are paid monthly salaries. TV commercial fees are paid at the beginning of the quarter. Facility-level cost includes depreciation of all production equipment.

   
Required

1. Compute the cost per unit for each product.

2. If management wants to price badminton racquets 30 percent above cost, what price should the company set?

Gladstone Limited tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each accounting period but applies its inventory costing method at the end of each period, as if it uses a periodic inventory system. Assume its accounting records provided the following information at the end of the annual accounting period, December 31.

Required:
1. Compute the amount of goods available for sale, ending inventory, and cost of goods sold at December 31, under each of the following inventory costing methods. For Specific identification, assuming that the March 14, sale was selected two-fifths from the beginning inventory and three-fifths from the purchase of January 30. Assume that the sale of August 31, was selected from the remainder of the beginning inventory, with the balance from the purchase of May 1. (Do not round Weighted average cost per unit. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

2-a. Of the three methods, which will result in the highest gross profit?

• Weighted average cost

• First-in, first-out

• Specific identification

2-b. Of the three methods, which will result in the lowest income taxes?

• Weighted average cost

• First-in, first-out

• Specific identification

The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) On-Line Discount Broker Survey polls members on their experiences with discount brokers. As part of the survey, members were asked to rate the quality of the speed of execution with their broker as well as provide an overall satisfaction rating for electronic trades. Possible responses (scores) were no opinion (0), unsatisfied (1), somewhat satisfied (2), satisfied (3), and very satisfied (4). For each broker summary scores were computed by calculating a weighted average of the scores provided by each respondent. Suppose a portion of the survey results follow.

These ratings data on x = the quality of the speed of execution and y = overall satisfaction with electronic trades provided the estimated regression equation ŷ = 0.078 + 0.946x. At the 0.05 level of significance, test whether speed of execution and overall satisfaction are related. (Use the F test.)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: β₁ ≠ 0
H_a: β₁ = 0H₀: β₀ ≠ 0
H_a: β₀ = 0    H₀: β₁ = 0
H_a: β₁ ≠ 0H₀: β₁ ≥ 0
H_a: β₁ < 0H₀: β₀ = 0
H_a: β₀ ≠ 0

Set up the ANOVA table. (Round your for F to two decimal places and all other values to three decimal places.)

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
