2. Equal to 0

3. Greater than 0

The Donald Fertilizer Company produces industrial chemical fertilizers. The projected manufacturing requirements (in thousands of gallons) for the next four quarters are 80, 50, 80, and 130, respectively. A level workforce is desired, relying only on anticipation inventory as a supply option. Stockouts and backorders are to be avoided, as are overtime and undertime.

a. Determine the quarterly production rate required to meet total demand for the year, and minimize the anticipation inventory that would be left over at the end of the year. Beginning inventory is zero.

b. Specify the anticipation inventory that will be produced.

c. Suppose that the requirements for the next four quarters are revised to 80, 130, 50, and 80, respectively. If total demand is the same, what level of production rate is needed now, using the same strategy as part (a)?

Exhibit: Costco Customers.

Customers at Costco spend an average of $130 per trip (The Wall Street Journal, October 6, 2010). One of Costco’s rivals would like to determine whether Costco's customers spend more per trip. A survey of the receipts of 25 customers found that the sample mean was $135.25. Assume that the population standard deviation of spending is $10.50 and the spending follows a normal distribution (use the significance level 0.07).

p-value < 0.07, so we reject H_o. Therefore, there is enough evidence to conclude that Costco’s customers spend more than $130 per trip.

p-value < 0.07, so we reject H_o. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to conclude that Costco’s customers spend more than $130 per trip.

p-value < 0.07, so we cannot reject H_o. Therefore, there is enough evidence to conclude that Costco’s customers spend more than $130 per trip.

p-value < 0.07, so we cannot reject H_o. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to conclude that Costco’s customers spend more than $130 per trip.

Imagine that you are preparing taxes for a local tax service provider. A married couple named Judy and Walter Townson have come to you to seeking assistance with their federal income taxes. During your meeting with the Townsons, you gather the following information:

• They are both 55 years of age.
• They have two daughters and one son. One daughter (age 25) is married with children. One daughter (age 20) is living at home and attending college. Their son (age 16) is a junior in high school.
• They are currently paying for their college-student daughter to attend school full time.
• Judy is employed as a teacher and makes $60,000 a year. She used $500 of her personal funds to purchase books and other supplies for her classroom.
• Walter is employed as a CPA and makes $100,000 a year.
• They provided you a 1099-INT which reported $4,500 in interest, of which $500 was savings bond interest.
• They provided you a 1099-DIV which reported $300 in dividends.
• They received a state tax refund last year of $385.
• They provided you a list of expenses including:
  • Doctor’s bills, $800
  • Prescriptions, $400
  • New glasses, $2,000
  • Dental bills, $560
  • Braces, $5,000
  • Property taxes for their two cars of $800, which included $50 in decal fees
  • Real estate taxes of $4,500
  • Mortgage interest of $12,000
  • Gifts to charities, $1,000
  • GoFundMe contribution to local family in need, $100
  • Tax preparation fees for last year’s taxes, $400

Consider the most beneficial way for Judy and Walter to file their federal income tax return. Prepare a brief written summary that addresses the following:

1. Estimated taxable income for Judy and Walter (please show computations).
2. Summary of tax return, including any suggestions or tax planning considerations.
3. Explain how you determined the filing status, dependents, and use of standard/itemized deduction.

Alice and Bob are re-enacting Cao Chong’s weighing experiment. They found two types of rocks, ~50 kg in weight and ~20 kg in weight, respectively. Now for an elephant that weighs ~1 ton, the measurement could be done with 20 of 50 kg rocks, or 50 of 20 kg rocks.

Alice argues that the first approach gives a more precise result as more rocks will introduce more error. Bob argues that the second approach is better as the error from different rocks tends to cancel out each other.

Calculate the uncertainty of the final result for the two approaches for the following two cases: (A) The absolute measurement uncertainty for each rock is fixed at 0.5 kg. (B) The relative measurement uncertainty for each rock is fixed at 2%. Which of the above two approaches win out for the two cases? (C) Is there a mathematical form of uncertainty-weight relationship for each rock that would lead to equal uncertainty of the final results for the two approaches?

Motor-Dexterity Test Motor-dexterity tests are often used in psychological studies, especially in neuropsychology. For this task, we are going to test motor-dexterity while looking for signs of frustration. First, take a clean pair of rolled-up socks or some other soft item. Then, have the participants throw it into a hoop you make with your arms. The objective is not to see how well they do the task but to see which hand they use; you are trying to determine dominance. After doing this task, ask the participants which hand they prefer to use when writing. While most will prefer the right, some will prefer the left. If a person says both, ask that individual to write a sentence with both hands, one at a time and the two of you can decide which hand to call dominant. In most cases, people will report they use the right hand more, and they will also unintentionally pick the right hand to throw the object with. If they report left and use the right hand to throw, then record that as mixed, but select the hand they choose as dominant. In the end, you will go with what the participant decides. You are required to record all information on the data sheet. This study involved ten participants. The researcher timed how fast each person put fifteen toothpicks into a mug with each hand. To reduce a significant difference being caused by practice effects, five of the participants started with their dominant hand (DH) and the next set of five started with their nondominant hand (NDH). While they were doing the task, the researcher rated the level of frustration while performing with one hand and then the other one. The researcher was careful not to allow experimenter bias to influence what he or she recorded. Here is the scale used to rate frustration: Very Frustrated Not Very Frustrated 5 4 3 2 1 Look at the data sheet: Participant # Start with NDH (seconds) FL-NDH DH (seconds) FL-DH 1 Right 7 3 6 1 2 Right 10 4 8 2 3 Right 9 3 8 2 4 Left 6 2 7 3 5 Right 8 4 6 1 6 Left 12 5 9 1 7 Left 8 1 7 1 8 Right 11 3 10 2 9 Left 8 2 8 2 10 Left 13 5 9 3 The hypotheses for the study were: People will perform the motor-dexterity task faster with their DH as compared to their NDH. People will show more frustration while using the NDH. Determine the average time with the motor-dexterity test, along with the standard deviation, and then use Minitab to analyze the data with a paired t-test to see if there is a significant performance difference between the two hands. Run another paired t-test to see if there is a difference in frustration (FL) while using the DH versus the NDH. Obtain the results and decide if the hypotheses are supported. Write a summary of the findings. Submit the results and summary of the findings in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document.
