Part A: Imagine a researcher thinks that using caffeine before a test increases test scores. If they had the consent of all the students in a 120-person class to participate in a study, a good experimental design would follow which protocol?

Part B: In a regression equation, the coefficient for the constant (aka intercept) represents,

Crain Company has a manufacturing subsidiary in Singapore that produces high-end exercise equipment for U.S. consumers. The manufacturing subsidiary has total manufacturing costs of $1,600,000, plus general and administrative expenses of $360,000. The manufacturing unit sells the equipment for $2,600,000 to the U.S. marketing subsidiary, which sells it to the final consumer for an aggregate of $3,600,000. The sales subsidiary has total marketing, general, and administrative costs of $210,000. Assume that Singapore has a corporate tax rate of 33% and that the U.S. tax rate is 46%. Assume that no tax treaties or other special tax treatments apply.

Required: What is the effect on Crain Company’s total corporate-level taxes if the manufacturing subsidiary raises its price to the sales subsidiary by 20%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input all amounts as positive values.)

1. Recently,Asphal Corp. received a report from an external consulting a Quality Costs Report that totally costs is 21% of its sales. Raynaldo and Richiekun are directors of that company and try to improve the Quality Product and Services by determined A Quality Improvement Program(QIP) to reduced to 17% costs to total revenue. Vintachan as controller tr to reduce the Costs of Quality below:

Consider the following two banks:

Bank 1 has assets composed solely of a 10-year, 12.25 percent coupon, $2.3 million loan with a 12.25 percent yield to maturity. It is financed with a 10-year, 10 percent coupon, $2.3 million CD with a 10 percent yield to maturity.

Bank 2 has assets composed solely of a 7-year, 12.25 percent, zero-coupon bond with a current value of $1,946,687.39 and a maturity value of $4,371,199.86. It is financed by a 10-year, 7.50 percent coupon, $2,300,000 face value CD with a yield to maturity of 10 percent.

All securities except the zero-coupon bond pay interest annually.

a. If interest rates rise by 1 percent (100 basis points), what is the difference in the value of the assets and liabilities of each bank? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

1. A small college went online in the middle of the semester in order avoid a virus contagion. They implemented a new online program to help increase students’ access to learning material and continue their classes. The data below is the average number of students that came to class before and after the move to online. The following is the number of students in the class before going online and after going online. The administration clams that there is no relationship between going online and the class attendance and you do not believe this. You are going to use a .10 alpha to conduct a test.

1. What is the Null and Alternative hypotheses? Write them both out below: (2)
2. What is the Critical value of the distribution? Why? (1)
3. Calculate the average difference, standard deviation for the data above: (2)
4. What is the sample statistic above? Show work (2)
5. Do we reject the null hypotheses? Is there evidence that the new system lowers the number of spoiled foods a company has? (3)

Suppose the nominal interest rate on car loans is 11% per year, and both actual and expected inflation are equal to 4%.

Complete the first row of the table by filling in the expected real interest rate and the actual real interest rate before any change in the money supply.

Now suppose the Fed unexpectedly increases the growth rate of the money supply, causing the inflation rate to rise unexpectedly from 4% to 6% per year.

Complete the second row of the table by filling in the expected and actual real interest rates on car loans immediately after the increase in the money supply (MS).

The unanticipated change in inflation arbitrarily benefits   .

Now consider the long-run impact of the change in money growth and inflation. According to the Fisher effect, as expectations adjust to the new, higher inflation rate, the nominal interest rate will   to

per year.

A shoe manufacturer claims that athletes can increase their vertical jumps using the manufacturer’s training shoes. The vertical jump heights of 8 randomly selected athletes are measured before they tried they shoes and then after they had been wearing the shoes for 9 months. The heights in inches are shown below. Assume vertical jump heights are normally distributed. Let and .

Write the hypotheses for this test.

Using your hypotheses, determine which tailed test this is.

Calculate the value of the standardized test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Calculate the P-Value for this test statistic. Round your answer to 4 decimal places

Based on this P-Value, what decision should you make?

Either the test resulted in an error or a correct decision. If an error was made, what type of error was it?

a) A manager at the Kemboja Car Sales and Services Enterprise wishes to estimate the number of days it takes for his car dealer to sell a local made car model. A random sample of 50 cars was selected and the mean number of days his car dealer is able to sell a local made car is 50 days. Assume the population standard deviation is 6 days.

i) Find the best point estimate of the population mean. Find the standard error of the

mean.

ii) Calculate the 99% confidence interval of the population mean number of days a car

dealer is able to sell a local made car.

b) As an aid for improving students’ study habit, 6 students were randomly selected to attend a seminar on the importance of education in life. The table shows the number of hours each student studied per week before and after the seminar. At the 95% confidence interval, did attending seminar increase the mean number of hours the students studied per week?
