The school you would like to attend costs $100,000. To help finance your education, you need to choose whether or not to sell any of your 500 shares of Apple stock you bought five years ago, 100 Apple bonds (each with a $1,000 face value and a 3.25% coupon rate) that are five years from their 10-year maturity date, or a combination of both. Provide the appropriate data and calculations that you would perform to make this decision

In a survey of youth in southern Minnesota, the following correlations and p value results were found when the students were asked why they were changing schools: n = 175 (df = 173). α = .05. Assume the study is two-tailed, only interested in whether a relationship exists.

Measures of Correlation for the Desire to Change Schools
Correlation (r ) with Significance
Number of fights in the last year .567, p < .05
Number of students arrested in the last year .878, p < .01
Alcohol Abuse -.167, p > .05
Drug Abuse -.627, p < .05


Based on the Correlation Coefficients with Significance, answer items 1-6:

1.  Is the relationship for the variable Alcohol Abuse statistically significant ?

3.What type of relationship exists for the variable Number of students arrested?

A) strong, inverse

B) moderate, inverse

C) weak, direct

D) strong, direct

4. What type of relationship exists for the variable Drug Abuse?

The table below gives the number of hours spent unsupervised each day as well as the overall grade averages for seven randomly selected middle school students. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1x, for predicting the overall grade average for a middle school student based on the number of hours spent unsupervised each day. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

Exercise 9-12 Working with More Than One Cost Driver [LO9-1, LO9-2, LO9-3]The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 63 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per
Student
Instructor wages $ 2,960
Classroom supplies $ 270
Utilities $ 1,210 $ 80
Campus rent $ 4,800
Insurance $ 2,300
Administrative expenses $ 3,800 $ 42 $ 7

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,800 per month plus $42 per course plus $7 per student. The company’s sales should average $890 per student.The company planned to run four courses with a total of 63 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 55 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Actual
Revenue $ 53,170
Instructor wages $ 11,120
Classroom supplies $ 16,860
Utilities $ 1,940
Campus rent $ 4,800
Insurance $ 2,440
Administrative expenses $ 3,835

Required: 1. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September.2. Prepare the company’s flexible budget for September.3. Calculate the revenue and spending variances for September.

There are two (2) hypothesis testing inquiries.

Hint: one inquiry is either a left-tail test or a right-tail test and one inquiry is a two-tail test.

For each inquiry show all work, including:

1. The null (H0) and alternative (H1) hypothesis.

2. The numerical critical value (ZCrit).

3. The calculation and calculated value (ZCalc).

Recall: z = (Xbar – mu) / (sigma / square-root of the sample size)

4. Determination: Reject H0 or Do not reject H0.

5. A brief explanation as to how you determined whether to Reject H0 not.

1. Student Expenditures: The average expenditure per student (based on average daily attendance) for a certain school year was $10,338 with a population standard deviation of $1560. A survey for the next school year of 150 randomly selected students resulted in a sample mean of $10,797. At the α = 0.10 level of significance, do these results indicate that the average expenditure has changed? (50 points)

2. Salaries of Government Employees: The mean salary of federal government employees on the General Schedule is $58,000. The average salary of 30 state employees who do similar work is $57,600 with σ = $1,500.
