You are the manager of a shoe producer. Your company specializes in basketball shoes and a cleaning product for basketball shoes. While the shoes bring in more revenue ($500,000 per year), the cleaning product is a strong seller as well ($150,000 of revenue per year). You are considering a 2% decrease in the price of your company's basketball shoes. Assume that the shoes have an own price elasticity of demand of -1.8 and the shoes and cleaning product have a cross-price elasticity of demand of -1.4. How much do you estimate your company's total revenue to change if you go forward with the proposed 2% shoe price decrease?

Consider a study that compares the Atkins diet to a conventional diet. A study at the University of Pennsylvania selected a sample of 63 subjects from the local population of obese adults. Researchers randomly assigned 33 to the Atkins diet and 30 subjects to a conventional diet. Test whether there is a significant difference in the mean weight loss (measured in pounds) across the two different diet programs.

I previously asked this question and when I put the data in excel, the numbers did not come out like the example. Please help. Thanks

Using software:

  1. Generate summary statistics (central tendency and variability measures) for the two samples and briefly summarize what they say.

b.         Conduct a test of significance for the difference between the mean weight across the different diet programs. Be sure to show the output from the software and interpret the results.

c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference parameter in mean weight lost and make an interpretation.

d. Finally, are there any other factors, besides the type of diet, that could possibly influence weight loss (identify at least 2)? Include a brief explanation of each.

Collyer Products Inc. has a Valve Division that manufactures and sells a standard valve as follows:...

Collyer Products Inc. has a Valve Division that manufactures and sells a standard valve as follows:
  Capacity in units 140,000
  Selling price to outside customers on the intermediate market $ 19
  Variable costs per unit $ 13
  Fixed costs per unit (based on capacity) $   10

  

The company has a Pump Division that could use this valve in the manufacture of one of its pumps. The Pump Division is currently purchasing 14,000 valves per year from an overseas supplier at a cost of $18 per valve.

Required:
1.

Assume that the Valve Division has ample idle capacity to handle all of the Pump Division's needs. What is the acceptable range, if any, for the transfer price between the two divisions?

    

2.

Assume that the Valve Division is selling all that it can produce to outside customers on the intermediate market. What is the acceptable range, if any, for the transfer price between the two divisions?

  

3.

Assume again that the Valve Division is selling all that it can produce to outside customers on the intermediate market. Also assume that $2 in variable expenses can be avoided on transfers within the company, due to reduced selling costs. What is the acceptable range, if any, for the transfer price between the two divisions?

  

4.

Assume the Pump Division needs 25,000 special high-pressure valves per year. The Valve Division's variable costs to manufacture and ship the special valve would be $11 per unit. To produce these special valves, the Valve Division would have to reduce its production and sales of regular valves from 140,000 units per year to 90,000 units per year. As far as the Valve Division is concerned, what is the lowest acceptable transfer price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

The Olney Company purchased a machine 3 years ago at a cost of $150,000. It had an expected life of 10 years at the time of purchase and an expected salvage value of $5,000.    The existing machine costs $54,000 year to run and generates $1,000,000 a year in revenue with a gross profit margin of 20%.   The old machine can be sold today for $55,000 and the expectation is that it can be sold for $7,500 in 7 years.

A new machine with a 7 year life can be purchased for $225,000. Cash operating expenses will be $65,000 per year. The new machine will boost revenue to $1,075,000 in the first three years of operation and then revenue of the new machine will increase to $1,090,000 per annum for the balance of machine’s life. The machine has a gross profit margin of 23% due to fewer defects. At the end of its useful life, the machine will have no value. The firm's tax rate is 34 percent. Straight-line depreciation is used for all assets. The firm’s WACC is 12 percent. The firm has an ACP of 63 days and pays its bills after 25 days.

Calculate project’s NPV and IRR.

The firm reduces its ACP to 55 days and starts to pay its bills after 30 days. What will be the project’s NPV ?
