A social psychologist is interested in how optimism is related to life satisfaction. A sample of individuals categorized as optimistic were asked about past, present, and projected future satisfaction with their lives. Higher scores on the life satisfaction measure indicate more satisfaction. Below are the data. What can the psychologist conclude with α = 0.01?

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
---Select--- na one-way ANOVA within-subjects ANOVA two-way ANOVA

b) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) to make a decision about H₀.
critical value =  ; test statistic =  
Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0

c) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
η² =  ;  ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect

d) Make an interpretation based on the results.

At least one of the temporal means is different on life satisfaction.None of the temporal means is different on life satisfaction.    

e) Conduct Tukey's Post Hoc Test for the following comparisons:
1 vs. 3: difference =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No
2 vs. 3: difference =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No

f) Conduct Scheffe's Post Hoc Test for the following comparisons:
2 vs. 3: test statistic =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No
1 vs. 3: test statistic =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No

Prahm Corp. wants to raise $5.3 million via a rights offering. The company currently has 590,000 shares of common stock outstanding that sell for $54 per share. Its underwriter has set a subscription price of $27 per share and will charge the company a spread of 6 percent. If you currently own 7,000 shares of stock in the company and decide not to participate in the rights offering, how much money can you get by selling your rights? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Your proceeds from sale of rights

Bilboa Freightlines, S.A. of Panama has a small truck that it uses for local deliveries. The truck is in bad repair and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information (Panama uses the U.S. dollar as its currency):

If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for eight more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for eight years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-fuelled, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above.

The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis. All investment projects are evaluated using a 16% discount rate.

Click here to view Exhibit 10-1 and Exhibit 10-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Required:

1-a. Determine the present value of net cash flows using the total-cost approach. (Negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal place.)

1-b. Should Bilboa Freightlines keep the old truck or purchase the new one?

multiple choice

• Purchase the new truck

• Keep the old truck

2. Using the incremental-cost approach, determine the net present value in favor of (or against) purchasing the new truck? (Negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal place.)

On January 1, 2018, Cameron Inc. bought 30% of the outstanding common stock of Lake Construction Company for $600 million cash. At the date of acquisition of the stock, Lake's net assets had a fair value of $800 million. Their book value was $700 million.
