In 2014, a group of students was interested in investigating prices of rental accommodation in suburbs of Brisbane that are close to the CBD and collected information on a total of 200 randomly chosen dwellings in four inner western suburbs. A subset of this data, relating to rental apartments in these suburbs is included below. The variables are:

Per week: weekly rental price for the apartment ($);

Bedrooms: number of bedrooms in the apartment;

Sqm: size of the apartment (m2)

Furnished: whether the apartment was furnished or not (yes/no).

The values are;

Question 3)

The students were interested in the proportion of rental apartments in these suburbs that were leased as furnished apartments, and whether this varied with the number of bedrooms in these apartments. To investigate further whether the proportions of furnished apartments differ between apartments with different numbers of bedrooms, it is useful to test formally whether the number of bedrooms in an apartment and whether it is furnished or not are independent.

a) Test whether the number of bedrooms in an apartment and whether it is furnished or not is independent.

b) State the null hypothesis, the relevant form of the test statistic and the approximate distribution of the test statistic for carrying out this text.

c) Perform a hypothesis test with using α = 0.05, of whether the proportions of furnished apartments vary across number of bedrooms, that is, whether the furnishing status of an apartment is independent of the number of bedrooms in the apartment.

Include the Following:

i) The table of expected frequencies

ii) The observed value of the test statistic

iii) The relevant degrees of freedom for the distribution of the test statistic

IV) The resulting p-value for the test, or a rejection region

Conclude the test by interpreting the p-value (or rejection region and your observed test statistic) in terms of the original question discussed above

Buddy Pets has recently started to manufacture talking toy pets.
The cost structure to manufacture 13,400 of these toy pets is as follows:
Direct materials ($34 per pet) $455,600
Direct labour ($30 per pet) 402,000
Variable overhead ($9 per pet) 120,600
Allocated fixed overhead ($24 per pet) 321,600
Total $1,299,800

Buddy Pets is approached by Maxum Inc., which offers to make the toy pets for $83 per unit.

Using incremental analysis, determine whether Buddy Pets should accept this offer under each of the following independent assumptions:
Prepare an incremental analysis. Assume that $120,600 of the fixed overhead cost (in making 13,400 of the toy pets) is avoidable. (Enter savings with a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).)

Hickory Company manufactures two products—15,000 units of Product Y and 7,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labour-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:

Dream Travel produces car seats for children from newborn to 2 years old. Dream Travel​'s only problem with its car seats was stitching in the straps. The problem can usually be detected and repaired during an internal inspection.

Inspection costs$5.00 per car​ seat, and the repairs cost $ 1.00 per car seat. All 250,000 car seats were inspected last​ year, and 8% were found to have problems with the stitching. Another 4​% of the 250,000 car seats had problems with the​ stitching, but the internal inspection did not discover them. Defective units that were sold and shipped to customers are shipped back to Dream Travel and repaired. Shipping costs are $15.00 per car​ seat, and repair costs are $1.00 per car seat. Negative publicity will result in a loss of future contribution margin of $ 150 for each external failure.

Requirement 1. Identify total costs of quality by category​ (appraisal, internal​ failure, and external​ failure.)

Costs of quality

Appraisal

Internal failure

External failure

Total costs of quality

Requirement 2.

Dream Travel is concerned with the high​ up-front cost of inspecting all 250,000 units. It is considering an alternative internal inspection plan that will cost only

$ 2.00 per car seat inspected. During the internal​ inspection, the alternative technique will detect only 4.0% of the 250,000 car seats that have stitching problems. The other 8.0%

will be detected after the car seats are sold and shipped. What are the total costs of quality for the alternative​ technique?

Appraisal cost

Internal failure cost

Out of pocket external failure cost

Opportunity cost of external failure

Total cost of quality

Requirement 3. What factors other than cost should Dream Travel Dream Travel consider before changing inspection​ techniques?

A.There could easily be serious reputation effects if the percentage of external failures increases significantly. This rise in external failures may lead to costs greater than

$ 150 per failure due to lost sales.

B. Higher external failure rates may increase the probability of lawsuits.  

C. Both of the above.

D.Neither of the​ above, cost is the only factor

Dream TravelDream Travel

should consider before changing inspection techniques.

*I NEED PARTS E AND F ONLY, CHECKING MY WORK, THANK YOU!*

P17.1A Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,584,280. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.45 or ($1,584,280 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

Assign overhead using traditional costing and ABC; compute unit costs; classify activities as value- or non-value-added.

The company's managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

b. Under ABC, prepare a schedule showing the computations of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver).

c. Prepare a schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost pool to each product based on the use of cost drivers. (Include a computation of overhead cost per unit, rounding to the nearest cent.)

c. Cost assigned—H.M. $1,086,500

d. Compute the total cost per unit for each product under ABC.

d. Cost/unit—H.M. $57.62
