Andrea would like to organize SHO as either an LLC (taxed as a sole proprietorship) or a C corporation. In either form, the entity is expected to generate an 12 percent annual before-tax return on a $920,000 investment. Andrea’s marginal income tax rate is 35 percent and her tax rate on dividends and capital gains is 15 percent. Andrea will also pay a 3.8 percent net investment income tax on dividends and capital gains she recognizes. If Andrea organizes SHO as an LLC, Andrea will be required to pay an additional 2.9 percent for self-employment tax and an additional 0.9 percent for the additional Medicare tax. Further, she is eligible to claim the full deduction for qualified business income. Assume that SHO will pay out all of its after-tax earnings every year as a dividend if it is formed as a C corporation.

21. To test the claim that mean weight is not equal to 156.3 lbs., a sample of 14 people showed that the sample mean was 172.55 and the sample standard deviation (s) was found to be 26.33 lbs. Find the p value for this test (note that population standard deviation sigma is unknown so that this is t-test).
