A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ). To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 135 of the salesman's cellular phones and 175 of the competitor's cellular phones. The retailer found that 14 of the salesman's cellular phones and 8 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective. Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim? Use a significance level of α = 0.01 for the test. 1 of 6: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test Step 2 of 6: Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1 and pˆ2. Round your answers to three decimal places. Step 3 of 6: Compute the weighted estimate of p, ‾‾p. Round your answer to three decimal places Step 4 of 6: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Step 5 of 6: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0. Round the numerical portion of your answer to two decimal places. Step 6 of 6: Make the decisi on for the hypothesis test. Reject or Fail to Reject Null Hypothesis.

Konig Enterprises, Ltd., owns and operates three restaurants in Vancouver, B.C. The company allocates its fixed administrative expenses to the three restaurants on the basis of sales dollars. Last year the fixed administrative expenses totaled $970,000 and were allocated as follows:

Wendell’s Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $42,700 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,400 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,400 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2.00 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life.

Leather is a major ingredient and regularly used in the production of all the products above. Leather used in production is bought from a supplier for $60 per meter. Fixed cost per annum is $2,300,000. The CFO of Premium has heard that break-even analysis could be used to assess the risks of the business and helps decision making. You are asked to help him in the analysis.

Required:

a. Calculate the contribution margin per unit for the 3 products.

b. Prepare a contribution margin income statement in thousands dollars.
