The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey 8 employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 11; 5; 15; 3; 10; 10; 8; 9. Let X = the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is about 10? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.

A. Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)
What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answers to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answers to three decimal places.)

B. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

C. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Periodic inventory by three methods

The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows:

There are 1,900 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the questions below.

1. Determine the inventory cost by the first-in, first-out method. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $10 in one year. Its future annual dividends are expected to grow by 20% pa. The next dividend of $10 will be in one year, and the year after that the dividend will be $12 (=10*(1+0.2)^1), and a year later $14.4 (=10*(1+0.2)^2) and so on forever.

Its required total return is 50% pa. The total required return and growth rate of dividends are given as effective annual rates.

Calculate the payback period of buying the stock and holding onto it forever, assuming that the dividends are received as at each time, not smoothly over each year. Note that you will have to find the price of the stock first.

Select one:

a. 1 year.

b. 2 years.

c. 3 years.

d. 4 years.

e. 5 years.

A company has a December year end and creates checks to pay their vendors towards the end of the month. The company creates all the proper journal entries at the time of creating the checks, but they do not mail the checks until January. Explain which, if any financial ratios are affected by this decision. Explain why this decision would be made.

A new molding machine is expected to produce operating cash flows of $109,000 a year for 4 years. At the beginning of the project, inventory will decrease by $8,700, accounts receivables will increase by $9,500, and accounts payable will decrease by $5,200. All net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. The initial cost of the molding machine is $319,000. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the life of the project. No bonus depreciation will be taken. The equipment will be salvaged at the end of the project creating an aftertax cash inflow of $51,600. What is the net present value of this project given a required return of 14.2 percent?
