Donovan & Parents produces soccer shorts and jerseys for youth leagues. Most of the production is done by machine. Data on operations and costs for March follow.

Jerseys Shorts Total
Units produced 10,900 5,400 16,300
Machine-hours used 1,010 770 1,780
Direct labor-hours 200 140 340
Direct materials costs $ 12,500 $ 7,500 $ 20,000
Direct labor costs $ 4,000 $ 2,800 $ 6,800
Manufacturing overhead costs $ 21,108


Management asks the firm’s cost accountant to compute product costs. The accountant first assigns overhead costs to two pools: overhead related to direct materials and overhead related to machine-hours. The analysis of overhead accounts by the cost accountant follows.

Account Amount Related to:
Utilities $ 4,090 Machine-hours
Supplies 2,860 Materials
Machine depreciation and maintenance 7,738 Machine-hours
Purchasing and storing materials 2,940 Materials
Miscellaneous 3,480 Machine-hours


Required:

a. Compute the predetermined overhead rates assuming that Donovan uses machine-hours to allocate machine-related overhead costs and materials costs to allocate materials-related overhead costs. (Round "Machine-related overhead" rate to 2 decimal places and enter "Materials related overhead" rate as a whole percentage)

Overhead Rate
Machine-hour related per hour
Materials related %

b. Compute the total costs of production and the cost per unit for each of the two products for March. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)

​Previously, 5​% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 5​% today. She randomly selects 130 pregnant mothers and finds that 5 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the​ researcher's statement at the α=0.05 level of significance. Identify the correct null and alternative hypotheses.

Use technology to find the​ P-value. P-value= ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

Is there sufficient evidence to support the​ obstetrician's statement? A.No​, because the​ P-value is greater than α there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than 5​%, meaning we do not reject the null hypothesis. B.Yes​, because the​ P-value is greater than α there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than 5​%, meaning we do not reject the null hypothesis. C.No​, because the​ P-value is less than α there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than 5​%, meaning we reject the null hypothesis. D.

An organization monitors many aspects of elementary and secondary education nationwide. Their 2000 numbers are often used as a baseline to assess changes. In 2000 48 % of students had not been absent from school even once during the previous month. In the 2004 ​survey, responses from 6827 randomly selected students showed that this figure had slipped to 47 %. Officials would note any change in the rate of student attendance. Answer the questions below.

​(a) Write appropriate hypotheses.

Upper H 0 : The percentage of students in 2004 with perfect attendance the previous month ▼ is greater than 48%. is less than 48%. is different from 48%. is equal to 48%.

Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : The percentage of students in 2004 with perfect attendance the previous month ▼ is greater than 48%. is equal to 48%. is less than 48%. is different from 48%.

(b) Check the necessary assumptions.

The independence condition is ▼ satisfied. not satisfied. The randomization condition is ▼ not satisfied. satisfied. The​ 10% condition is ▼ satisfied. not satisfied. The​ success/failure condition is ▼ not satisfied. satisfied. ​

(c) Perform the test and find the​ P-value. ​P-value equals ________ ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) ​

(d) State your conclusion. Assume a=0.05.

A. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the percentage of students with perfect attendance in the previous month has changed.

B. We can reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the percentage of students with perfect attendance in the previous month has changed.

C. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to suggest that the percentage of students with perfect attendance in the previous month has changed.
