Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $7 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $7.61 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $7.91 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $13.04 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: Debt: 45,100 6.9 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 21 years to maturity, selling for 94.9 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments.

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is
approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom
d.f. not in the Student's t table, use
the closest d.f. that is smaller. In
some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase
the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a
slightly more "conservative" answer.
Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all
that money? One way to answer this question is to look at row
B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue,
versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase
in that same company. Suppose a random sample of companies yielded
the following data:
|
B: Percent increase for company |
26 | 25 | 27 | 18 | 6 | 4 | 21 | 37 |
| A: Percent
increase for CEO |
21 | 23 | 22 | 14 | −4 | 19 | 15 | 30 |
Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. (Let d = B − A.)
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Is fishing better from a boat or from the shore? Pyramid Lake is
located on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. Presidents,
movie stars, and people who just want to catch fish go to Pyramid
Lake for really large cutthroat trout. Let row B represent
hours per fish caught fishing from the shore, and let row
A represent hours per fish caught using a boat. The
following data are paired by month from October through April.
| Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | March | April | |
| B: Shore | 1.4 | 1.8 | 2.0 | 3.2 | 3.9 | 3.6 | 3.3 |
| A: Boat | 1.3 | 1.3 | 1.6 | 2.2 | 3.3 | 3.0 | 3.8 |
Use a 1% level of significance to test if there is a difference in the population mean hours per fish caught using a boat compared with fishing from the shore. (Let d = B − A.)
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your
answer to three decimal places.)
