Shamrock Corporation was formed 5 years ago through a public
subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the
common stock, was one of the organizers of Shamrock and is its
current president. The company has been successful, but it
currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2021,
Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a
24-month extension on two $35,170 notes, which are due on June 30,
2021, and September 30, 2021. Another note of $6,020 is due on
March 31, 2022, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on
its due date. Brown explained that Shamrock’s cash flow problems
are due primarily to the company’s desire to finance a $300,530
plant expansion over the next 2 fiscal years through internally
generated funds.
The commercial loan officer of Topeka National Bank requested the
following financial reports for the last 2 fiscal years.

The worldwide market share for a web browser was 20.1% in a recent month. Suppose that a sample of 100 random students at a certain university finds that 25 use the browser.
A. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the market share for the web browser at the university is greater than the worldwide market share of 20.1%?
Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
Calculate the test statistic.
The p-value is
State the conclusion of the test.
B. Suppose that a sample of n=400 students at the same university (instead of n=100) determines that 25% of the sample use the web browser. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the market share for the web browser at the university is greater than the worldwide market share of 20.1%?
Calculate the test statistic for the second sample.
What is the p-value for the second sample?
The p-value is
State the conclusion of the test using this second sample at the 0.05 level of significance.
C. Compare the results of (a) and (b) and discuss the effect that sample size has on the outcome, and, in general, in hypothesis testing.
D. What do you think are your chances of rejecting any null hypothesis concerning a population proportion if a sample size of n=20 is used?
The likelihood of rejecting a null hypothesis with N=20 is relatively ( HIGH OR LOW)

Female athletes at the University of Colorado, Boulder, have a long-term graduation rate of 67% (Source: Chronicle of Higher Education). Over the past several years, a random sample of 38 female athletes at the school showed that 21 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of female athletes who graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder, is now less than 67% ? Use a 5% level of significance.
a) Which distribution applies: the Standard Normal or the t distribution? Why?
b) What is the value of the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Is it a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
c) Compute the value of the sample test statistic (either t* or z*).
d) Find the critical value(s). Sketch the sampling distribution and show the critical value(s) and region(s).
e) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (d), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the given level of significance?
f) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

Blue Department Store converted from the conventional retail
method to the LIFO retail method on January 1, 2020, and is now
considering converting to the dollar-value LIFO inventory method.
During your examination of the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2021, management requested that you furnish a
summary showing certain computations of inventory cost for the past
3 years.
Here is the available information.
| 1. | The inventory at January 1, 2019, had a retail value of $55,800 and cost of $30,400 based on the conventional retail method. | |
| 2. | Transactions during 2019 were as follows. |
|
Cost |
Retail |
|||
| Purchases | $346,890 | $562,800 | ||
| Purchase returns | 5,100 | 10,000 | ||
| Purchase discounts | 5,900 | |||
| Gross sales revenue (after employee discounts) | 557,800 | |||
| Sales returns | 9,000 | |||
| Employee discounts | 3,100 | |||
| Freight-in | 17,400 | |||
| Net markups | 20,400 | |||
| Net markdowns | 11,800 |
| 3. | The retail value of the December 31, 2020, inventory was $74,700, the cost ratio for 2020 under the LIFO retail method was 66%, and the regional price index was 106% of the January 1, 2020, price level. | |
| 4. | The retail value of the December 31, 2021, inventory was $63,400, the cost ratio for 2021 under the LIFO retail method was 65%, and the regional price index was 109% of the January 1, 2020, price level. |
Compute the cost of inventory on hand at December 31, 2019, based on the conventional retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987)
| Cost of inventory on hand |
$ |
Compute the inventory to be reported on December 31, 2019, in accordance with procedures necessary to convert from the conventional retail method to the LIFO retail method beginning January 1, 2020. Assume that the retail value of the December 31, 2019, inventory was $60,900. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.72% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)
| The inventory to be reported on December 31, 2011 |
$ |
Without prejudice to your solution to part (b), assume that you computed the December 31, 2019, inventory (retail value $60,900) under the LIFO retail method at a cost of $36,845. Compute the cost of the store’s 2020 and 2021 year-end inventories under the dollar-value LIFO method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.72% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)
