Select two data values from your raw data – one that is inside of the confidence interval and one that is outside – one must be at the high end of the data and one at the low end – and construct two hypothesis tests, one for each value. One of the tests should be a “less than”, the other should be a “greater than”, depending on the value being tested. Use a 95% level of confidence.

The company sells a single product at a price of $60 per unit. The estimated sales volume for the next six months is as follows:
September October . . November December January . . February. .
13,000 units 12,000 units 14,000 units 20,000 units
9,000 units 10,000 units
All sales are on account. The company’s collection experience
has been
that 32% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, 64%
are collected in the month following the sale, and 4% are
uncollectible. It is expected that the net realizable value of
accounts receivable (i.e., accounts receivable less allow- ance for
uncollectible accounts) will be $499,200 on September 30, 2013.
Management’s policy is to maintain ending finished goods inventory
each month at a level equal to 40% of the next month’s budgeted
sales. The fin- ished goods inventory on September 30, 2013, is
expected to be 4,800 units. To make one unit of finished product, 5
pounds of materials are required. Management’s policy is to have
enough materials on hand at the end of each month to equal 30% of
the next month’s estimated usage. The raw materials inventory is
expected to be 19,200 pounds on September 30, 2013.
The cost per pound of raw material is $4, and 70% of all purchases
are paid for in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid in the
following month. The accounts payable for raw material purchases is
expected to be $75,960 on September 30, 2013.
Required:
Prepare a sales budget in units and dollars, by month and in total, for the fourth quarter (October, November, and December) of 2013.
Prepare a schedule of cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Prepare a production budget in units, by month and in total, for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Prepare a materials purchases budget in pounds, by month and in total, for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Prepare a schedule of cash payments for materials, by month and in total, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

This is the main question I'm having trouble with
Question
a
| Assume that Freese, Inc. decided that because of strong economic conditions in general, a 10% increase in the | ||||||
| expected number of units to be sold each month was realistic. Explain the effect, in general, on each of the budgets | ||||||
| presented of a 10% increase in the number of units sold. | ||||||
b
| Assuming that the number of units sold would not change, explain the effect on the budgets presented of a 5% | ||||||||
| increase in the selling price of the product. How does this price change effect differ from the sales volume | ||||||||
| effect you described above? | ||||||||
c
| The purchasing manager is evaluating an alternative supplier that would provide a slightly lower grade of raw | ||||||
| material at a savings from the current price of $4 per pound. The new price would be at $3.50 per pound but | ||||||
| the product would now require six pounds of the lower grade of raw material to produce the same number of | ||||||
| good finished units as currently achieved. Would you recommend the change to the new supplier? What if the | ||||||
| new price was to be $3.00? How about a price of $3.285307? Explain your answers. |

Yes, the Max is grounded, but there will be a return
to something more normal someday. Assume we've reached that
point!
Here’s an excerpt from a recent issue of ATA
SmartBrief: “Southwest Airlines and American Airlines are pleased
with the early performance of their Boeing 737 Max 8 passenger
jets. Southwest officials say the aircraft is performing as
expected and is 14% more fuel-efficient than Boeing's 737-800s.”
Not surprisingly, Boeing prices the B-737 Max 8 higher than the
otherwise comparable B-737-800. Based on the following data, is the
Max 8 a good financial choice instead of the 800 series aircraft?
Just as in all real-world financial analyses, you will need to make
some assumptions. Please present your net present value
computations to support your recommendation.
B-737 Max 8 list price: $112.4 million
B-737-800 list price: $98.1 million
Note that airlines typically receive a substantial
discount off list price averaging about 33%.
B-737-800 average hourly fuel consumption: 850 gallons
per hour
You will need the current price of jet fuel. Find it
with a Google search for “spot price of jet fuel.” You will see
that the price varies somewhat by purchase location, but you may
choose a representative price.
Average yearly flight hour utilization for both 737
models: 3,600 hours years
Typical useful lifetime in major airline service: 20
years
Assume the resale value (or opportunity cost) at the
end of 20 years of service is ½ of the initial purchase
price
