Pacific Packaging's ROE last year was only 6%; but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-capital ratio of 50%, which will result in annual interest charges of $780,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of $1,920,000 on sales of $20,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 2.5. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 30%. If the changes are made, what will be the company's return on equity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Question 2 Suppose a researcher gathered survey data from 19 employees and asked the employees to rate their job satisfaction on a scale from 0 to 100 (with 100 being perfectly satisfied). Suppose the following data represent the results of this survey. Assume that relationship with their supervisor is rated on a scale from 0 to 50 (0 represents a poor relationship and 50 represents an excellent relationship); overall quality of the work environment is rated on a scale from 0 to 100 (0 represents poor work environment and 100 represents an excellent work environment); and opportunities for GB513: Business Analytics 2 of 4 advancement is rated on a scale from 0 to 100 (0 represents no opportunities and 100 represents excellent opportunities). Answer the following questions: a) What is the regression formula based on the results from your regression? b) How reliable do you think the estimates will be based on this formula? Explain your answer by citing the relevant metrics. c) Are there any variables that do not appear to be good predictors of job satisfaction? How can you tell? d) If a new employee reports that her relationship with her supervisor is 40, rates her opportunities for advancement to be at 30, finds the quality of the work environment to be at 75, and works 60 hours per week, what would you expect her job satisfaction score to be?

Problem 9-62 and 9-63 (Algo)

PART ONE

Cain Components manufactures and distributes various plumbing products used in homes and other buildings. Over time, the production staff has noticed that products they considered easy to make were difficult to sell at margins considered reasonable, while products that seemed to take a lot of staff time were selling well despite recent price increases. A summer intern has suggested that the cost system might be providing misleading information.

The controller decided that a good summer project for the intern would be to develop, in one self-contained area of the plant, an alternative cost system with which to compare the current system. The intern identified the following cost pools and, after discussion with some plant personnel, appropriate cost drivers for each pool. There were:

In this particular area, Cain produces two of its many products: Standard and Deluxe. The following are data for production for the latest full year of operations.

a. The current cost accounting system charges overhead to products based on machine-hours. What unit product costs will be reported for the two products if the current cost system continues to be used? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round "Unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. The intern suggests an ABC system using the cost drivers identified above. What unit product costs will be reported for the two products if the ABC system is used? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round "Unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

PART TWO

The intern decides to look more closely at the manufacturing activity and determines that it can be broken down into two activities: production and engineering. Production covers the costs of ongoing manufacturing while engineering includes those activities dealing with engineering changes, design modifications, and so on.

The costs attributed to production are $10,526,400 and the costs attributed to engineering are $10,092,000. After discussion with plant engineers, the intern decides that the best cost driver for engineering is setups, because most of the work arises from changes in the way the product is run.

c. Compute the totals of the cost driver rates shown below. (Round intermediate calculations and "Manufacturing" answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. What unit product costs will be reported for the two products if the revised ABC system is used? (Round "Unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

A clothing store sells shoes, pants, and tops. The store also allows a customer to buy an “outfit,” which consists of three items: one pair of shoes, one pair of pants, and one top. Each clothing item has a description and a price. The four type of clothing items are represented by the four classes Shoes, Pants, Top, and Outfit. All four classes implement the following ClothingItem interface.

public interface ClothingItem

{
   /** Return the description of the clothing item *//

   String getDescription();

   /** Return the price of the clothing item */

   double getPrice();

}

The following diagram shows the relationship between the ClothingItem interface and the Shoes, Pants, Top, and Outfit classes.

The store allows customers to create Outfit clothing items, each of which includes a pair of shoes, pants, and a top. The description of the outfit consists of the description of the shoes, pants, and top, in the order, separated by “/” and followed by a space and “outfit”. The price of an outfit is calculated as follows. If the sum of the prices of any two items equals or exceeds $100, there is a 25% discount on the sum of the prices of all three items. Otherwise, there is a 10% discount.

For example, an outfit consisting of sneakers ($40), blue jeans ($50), and a T-shit ($10), would have the name “sneakers/blue jeans/T-shirt outfit” and a price of 0.90(40 + 50 +10) = $90.00. An outfit consisting of loafers ($50), cutoffs ($20), and dress-shirt ($60), would have the description “loafers/cutoffs/dress-shirt outfit” and a price of 0.75(50 + 20 + 60) = $97.50

Write the Outfit class the implements the ClothingItem interface. Your implementation must include a constructor that takes three parameters representing a pair of shoes, pants, and a top, in that order.

A client class that uses the Outfit class should be able to create an outfit, and its description, and get its price. Your implementation should be such that the client code has the following behavior:

Shoes shoes;

Pants pants;

Top top;

/* Code to initialize shoes, pants, and top */

ClothingItem outfit =

   new Outfit(shoes, pants, top); //Compiles without error

ClothingItem outfit =

   new Outfit(pants, shoes, top); //Compile-time error

ClothingItem outdit =

   new Outfit(shoes, top, pants); //Compile-time error
