Please show and answer all the parts of this question. This is Testing Hypotheses About Proportions in Statistics

Suppose that in manufacturing a very sensitive electronic component, a company and its customers have tolerated a 2% defective rate. Recently, however, several customers have been complaining that there seem to be more defectives than in the past. Given that the company has made recent modifications to its manufacturing process, it is wondering if in fact the defective rate has increased from 2%. For quality assurance purposes, you decide to randomly select 1,000 of these electronic components before they are shipped to customers. Of the 1,000 components, you find 25 that are defective. Assume that the company produces a very large number of these components on any given day.

  1. Set up an appropriate hypothesis to test whether or not the defect rate has increased.
  2. Before proceeding to test your hypothesis, check that all assumptions and conditions are satisfied for such a test.
  3. Conduct the test using a .05 level of significance (alpha) and state your decision about whether or not you believe that the defect rate has increased.
  4. What would be the minimum number of defectives in a random sample of 1,000 would you need to find in order to statistically decide that the defect rate exceeds .02 (again, assuming a .05 level of significance).

Question)

28 September 2007

Yesterday at Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court a steel processing company pleaded guilty to causing an environmental hazard following an incident where chromic acid spilled into a stormwater drain in 2005. The Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court heard approximately 3,000 litres of acid spilled from Onesteel’s plant at Cliffords Road in Somerton between 29 October and 1 November in 2005. OneSteel voluntarily shut down its plant to clean up the acid spillage before resuming operations a week later.

The Court heard the discharge resulted from an overflow of acid from the purification cell system at the site, when the power and air supply was turned off for a long weekend. Chromic acid is used to plate steel. Magistrate Spillane found the company guilty, and without conviction ordered it pay $75,000 to Merri Creek Management Committee Inc.

EPA West Metropolitan Region Manager Scott Maloney said the potential impact of the acid could have harmed aquatic life in local waterways. “The community expects businesses to protect our local waterways as an essential part of their operations,” Mr Maloney said. “The acid spilled into a stormwater drain which then contaminated a Melbourne Water retarding basin.”

“Onesteel has since improved their practices and modified equipment to prevent a recurrence of this incident,” Mr Maloney said. Onesteel was ordered by the Court to publicise the court findings and penalty to its shareholders and the wider community. Magistrate Spillane also ordered Onesteel to pay EPA legal costs in the amount of $10,000.

Based on the article above, describe what sorts of costs could be categorised as the costs of:

  • prevention
  • internal failure

For each category, identify at least two types of costs that could potentially apply in the situation of OneSteel, and explain why the cost should be categorised in that particular category. Provide your answer in the following manner in the answer box below:

Prevention cost 1:

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these...

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 5%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $105 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 5% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 602,000 7,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 568,000 8,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 375,000 15,000 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 822,500 470,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 660,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 3,027,500

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $36,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Activity

Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 11 27
Number of manual orders 0 41
Number of electronic orders 19 0
Number of line items picked 160 280

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial.

1. Dropbox, a cloud storage provider, plans to go public this year. It has set its valuation target at between $7 billion and 8 billion dollars. As one of the few richly valued tech startups to test the public markets in recent years, Dropbox's performance as a public company will be closely watched at a potential barometer for the more than 100 U.S. companies valued at more than $1 billion that still remain private.

Dropbox was founded by MIT computer-science students Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi in 2007. It now has more than 500 million users, most of whom use its free, basic service with limited storage. Dropbox has never turned a yearly profit. While the company's losses have been shrinking, its revenue growth has also slowed. It has roughly 11 million paying customers, but the vast majority of its 500 million users do not pay.

Why has Dropbox been successful as a business? What do you think about the Dropbox's long-term future given the competitive environment it faces? How going public benefits Dropbox rather than remaining a private company? If you were an investor, would you invest in Dropbox's IPO? Why or why not? Please discuss.

Other cash disbursements budgeted: Selling and administration expenses of $14,000 each month, Dividends of $30,000 will be paid in July, and purchase of a computer in August for $3,000 cash. The company wishes to maintain a minimum cash balance of $20,000 at the end each month. The company borrows money from the bank at 9% interest if necessary to maintain the minimum cash balance and must be paid each month whether there is a loan repayment for not. Borrowed money is repaid in months when there is an excess cash balance. The beginning cash balance on July 1 was $25,000. All amounts borrowed during a month are borrowed on the first day. The loan balance as of July 1 is $26,000.

Instructions:

Prepare a cash budget for the month of July. Prepare separate schedules for expected collections from customers and expected payments for purchases as inventory.

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

1.

What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for the Alpha product line and for the Beta product line?

       

2.

What is the company’s total amount of common fixed expenses?

       

3.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 100,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 30,000 additional Alphas for a price of $160 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?

       

4.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 110,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 2,000 additional Betas for a price of $83 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?


      

5.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 115,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 30,000 additional Alphas for a price of $160 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 14,000 units.

Parker Products manufactures a variety of household products. The company is considering introducing a new detergent....

Parker Products manufactures a variety of household products. The company is considering introducing a new detergent. The company's CFO has collected the following information about the proposed product. (Note: You may or may not need to use all of this information, use only the information that is relevant.)

·

The project has an anticipated economic life of 4 years.

·

The company will have to purchase a new machine to produce the detergent. The machine has an up-front cost (t = 0) of $2 million. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years (that is, the company's depreciation expense will be $500,000 in each of the first four years (t = 1, 2, 3, and 4). The company anticipates that the machine will last for four years, and that after four years, its salvage value will equal zero.

·

If the company goes ahead with the proposed product, it will have an effect on the company's net operating working capital. At the outset, t = 0, inventory will increase by $440,000 and accounts payable will increase by $140,000. At t = 4, the net operating working capital will be recovered after the project is completed.

·

The detergent is expected to generate sales revenue of $2 million the first year (t = 1), $3 million the second year (t = 2), $4 million the third year (t = 3), and $4 million the final year (t = 4). Each year the operating costs (not including depreciation) are expected to equal 60 percent of sales revenue.

·

The company's interest expense each year will be $400,000.

·

The new detergent is expected to reduce the after-tax cash flows of the company's existing products by $200,000 a year (t = 1, 2, 3, and 4).

·

The company's overall WACC is 10 percent. However, the proposed project is riskier than the average project for Parker; the project's WACC is estimated to be 12 percent.

·

The company's tax rate is 40 percent.


Estimate the project net cash flows. Make sure to put the cash flows in order: CF0 in blank 1, CF1 in Blank 2, CF2 in Blank 3, etc. Round it to a whole dollar, and do not include the $ sign.
In box 6 (last one), compute the project's NPV. Round it to a whole dollar, and do not include the $ sign.
