You are managing a division of a large company. The marketing department submits a report to you about the demand for the product you manage. The report includes the following estimated demand function: Qd =2,910.0 -11.3 P + 0.050 INCOME- 3.0
(100.4) (3.2) (0.012) (1.0)
where P is the price of your product, INCOME is average income, Upper P Subscript other is the price of a related product, and the numbers in parentheses are the standard errors of the estimated coefficients directly above them. The Upper R squared statistic for the regression is 0.84 (84 percent).
Which of the following comments about the estimated demand function are true? (Check all that apply.) A. It would be useful for forecasting the demand of the product as the Upper R squared statistic for the regression is high. B. It would not be useful for forecasting the demand of the product as the estimated coefficients are not statistically significant. C. It would be useful for forecasting the demand of the product as the estimated coefficients are statistically significant. D. It would not be useful for forecasting the demand of the product as the Upper R squared statistic for the regression is low.
The product is a _____good. The related product is a complement for your product because
A. the estimated coefficient for income is positive and statistically significant B. the estimated coefficient for price of the good is negative and statistically significant C. the estimated coefficient for the intercept is positive and statistically significant D. the estimated coefficient for price of the related good is negative and statistically significant
Suppose the current price of your product is $180, average income is $55, and the price of the related product is $300. The quantity demanded will be _______. Based on the given information and your calculations in the previous step, the price elasticity of demand for your product will be _____ (Round your answer to three decimal places.) If you raise the price of your product, the total revenue will ______.

Optimal Capital Structure with Hamada Beckman Engineering and Associates (BEA) is considering a change in its capital structure. BEA currently has $20 million in debt carrying a rate of 6%, and its stock price is $40 per share with 2 million shares outstanding. BEA is a zero growth firm and pays out all of its earnings as dividends. The firm's EBIT is $14.379 million, and it faces a 40% federal-plus-state tax rate. The market risk premium is 4%, and the risk-free rate is 5%. BEA is considering increasing its debt level to a capital structure with 35% debt, based on market values, and repurchasing shares with the extra money that it borrows. BEA will have to retire the old debt in order to issue new debt, and the rate on the new debt will be 8%. BEA has a beta of 1.0.
a. What is BEA's unlevered beta? Use market value D/S (which is the same as wd/ws) when unlevering. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
0.87
b. What are BEA's new beta and cost of equity if it has 35% debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Beta: 1.15
Cost of Equity: 9.6
c. What are BEA’s WACC and total value of the firm with 35% debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
%
d. What is the total value of the firm with 35% debt? Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table.
| Delay Before Recall | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0.5 | 1 |
| 8 | 8 | 5 |
| 7 | 3 | 7 |
| 5 | 10 | 2 |

(b) Compute Tukey's HSD post hoc test and interpret the results.
(Assume alpha equal to 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
The critical value is what? For each pairwise comparison.
(c)Which of the comparisons had significant differences? (Select
all that apply.)
The null hypothesis of no difference should be retained because none of the pairwise comparisons demonstrate a significant difference.
Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a half second delay.
Recall following a half second delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.
Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.
You may need to use the appropriate table in Appendix B to answer
this question.

small company that manufactures three versions of patio tables.
Unit information for its products
follows:

| Required number of labor hours | 0.5 | 0.5 | 1.0 | ||||||
| Required number of machine hours | 4.0 | 2.50 | 2.0 | ||||||
Blossom has determined that it can sell a limited number of each
table in the upcoming year. Expected demand for each model
follows:
| Table A | 50,000 | units | |
| Table B | 20,000 | units | |
| Table C | 30,000 | units | |
Required:
1. Suppose that direct labor hours has been identified as
the bottleneck resource. Determine how Blossom should prioritize
production by rank ordering the products from 1 to 3.
2. If Blossom has only 40,000 direct labor hours
available, calculate the number of units of each table that Blossom
should produce to maximize its profit. (Enter the products
in the sequence of their preferences; the product with first
preference should be entered first.)
3. Suppose that the number of machine hours has
been identified as the most constrained resource. Determine how
Blossom should prioritize production by rank ordering the products
from 1 to 3.
4. If Blossom has only 232,000 machine hours
available, calculate the number of units of each table that Blossom
should produce to maximize its profit. (Enter the products
in the sequence of their preferences; the product with first
preference should be entered first.)
