A study showed that 62% of supermarket shoppers believe supermarket brands to be as good as national name brands. To investigate whether this result applies to its own product, the manufacturer of a national name-brand ketchup asked a sample of shoppers whether they believed that supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup.
(a)
Formulate the hypotheses that could be used to determine whether the percentage of supermarket shoppers who believe that the supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup is less than 62%.
H0: p < 0.62
Ha: p ≥ 0.62
H0: p = 0.62
Ha: p ≠ 0.62
H0: p > 0.62
Ha: p ≤ 0.62
H0: p ≤ 0.62
Ha: p > 0.62
H0: p ≥ 0.62
Ha: p < 0.62
(b)
If a sample of 100 shoppers showed 51 stating that the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand, what is the p-value?
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =

At
α = 0.05,
what is your conclusion?
Do not reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of supermarket shoppers who believe that supermarket ketchup is as good as the national brand ketchup is less than 62%

(d)
Should the national brand ketchup manufacturer be pleased with this conclusion? Explain.
Yes, the national brand ketchup manufacturer should be pleased with this conclusion. The results of the hypothesis test did not indicate that the percentage of shoppers who believe that supermarket ketchup is as good as the national brand ketchup was less than the overall percentage for all products.
No, the national brand ketchup manufacturer should not be pleased with this conclusion. The results of the hypothesis test indicated that the percentage of shoppers who believe that supermarket ketchup is as good as the national brand ketchup was less than the overall percentage for all products.

Barbour Corporation, located in Buffalo, New York, is a retailer of high-tech products and is known for its excellent quality and innovation. Recently, the firm conducted a relevant cost analysis of one of its product lines that has only two products, T-1 and T-2. The sales for T-2 are decreasing and the purchase costs are increasing. The firm might drop T-2 and sell only T-1.
Barbour allocates fixed costs to products on the basis of sales revenue. When the president of Barbour saw the income statements (see below), he agreed that T-2 should be dropped. If T-2 is dropped, sales of T-1 are expected to increase by 10% next year, but the firm’s cost structure will remain the same.
| T-1 | T-2 | |||||
| Sales | $ | 300,000 | $ | 340,000 | ||
| Variable costs: | ||||||
| Cost of goods sold | 90,000 | 170,000 | ||||
| Selling & administrative | 15,000 | 70,000 | ||||
| Contribution margin | $ | 195,000 | $ | 100,000 | ||
| Fixed expenses: | ||||||
| Fixed corporate costs | 80,000 | 95,000 | ||||
| Fixed selling and administrative | 32,000 | 41,000 | ||||
| Total fixed expenses | $ | 112,000 | $ | 136,000 | ||
| Operating income | $ | 83,000 | $ | (36,000 | ) | |
Required:
1. Find the expected change in annual operating income by dropping T-2 and selling only T-1.
2. By what percentage would sales from T-1 have to increase in order to make up the financial loss from dropping T-2?
3. What is the required percentage increase in sales from T-1 to compensate for lost margin from T-2, if total fixed costs can be reduced by $58,500?

We also know that the supply of auto is relatively inelastic and all our competitors are facing the same cost increase.
Is the demand curve for your product relatively elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic? Demonstrate for your company's product, by how much the quantity demanded will change if you pass on a 10% increase in cost. In other words, show your calculation of the percentage change in the quantity demanded given a 10% change in your price. You must provide a calculations showing the percentage change in quantity demanded.
Given your company's and price elasticity of demand and the industry supply/competitive environment you face prepare a statement for your board as to the potential impact on profits. Who will pay the larger share of the cost increases, your firm or your customers?
