7. a) A study measures how the number of hours of sleep a person gets affects the number of errors they make in a test of short term memory. The regression finds the slope (b) = -3 and the intercept (a) = 25. Interpret the slope in a sentence. Interpret the intercept in a sentence.

b) A study measures how a person’s age (in years) affects the number of messages they get on a dating site. The regression finds the slope (b) = -2 and the intercept (a) = 100. Interpret the slope in a sentence. Interpret the intercept in a sentence.

c) For which of the two studies mentioned above is it more reasonable to interpret the intercept and why?

Jerry plans on registering for five classes this semester: English Composition, Physics, Physics Lab, Java, and Music Appreciation. However, he is not sure if these classes are being offered this semester or if there will be timing conflicts. Also, two of the classes, Physics and Physics Lab, must be taken together during the same semester. Therefore, if he can register for only one of them, he will not take either class. If, for any reason, he cannot register for a class, he will identify and register for a different class to take its place and that fits his time schedule. Use a decision table that shows all rules to represent this logic.

Do you think the use of polygraph in the hiring processes for police agencies is an important tool, along with others is effective enough to identify and eliminate unsuitable candidates for employment?

Measurement, external, internal and statistical conclusion validity are the four major types of validity. What does each address, and give an example (1 or 2 sentences) of an experiment that addresses each type of validity? What are the 4 components of external validity, what does each address, and give an example (1 or 2 sentences) of an experiment that addresses each component of external validity? What are the 4 stages of participant selection/sampling and what does each address? What is the difference between a qualitative variable and a quantitative variable and give 4 examples of each? What is the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable? Give me a simple 1 or 2 sentence study outlining the independent and dependent variables (hint: think cause and effect). 2 pts. If we were going to run an experiment that measures if rise in temperature in a classroom is related to aggression and degree of liking people, how would you operationally define the variables (hint: there are 3 – 2 dependent variables and 1 independent variable)? 2 pts.

Suppose that ABC Corp. has an equity beta of 1.5. Current risk-free rates are 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 15%. ABC Corp has a market value debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5, debt that is rated AA, and faces a 21% tax rate. Assuming that the credit spread on AA debt is 2%, compute ABC Corps WACC? Enter your answer as a percent without the % sign. Round to two decimals.

Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under

Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions

Darby Company, operating at full capacity, sold 106,650 units at a price of $66 per unit during the current year. Its income statement for the current year is as follows:

The division of costs between fixed and variable is as follows:

Management is considering a plant expansion program that will permit an increase of $594,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $59,400, but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.

Required:

1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year. Enter the final answers rounded to the nearest dollar.

2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year. Enter the final answers rounded to two decimal places.

3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year. Enter the final answers rounded to the nearest whole number.
units

4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year. Enter the final answers rounded to the nearest whole number.
units

5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $86,900 of income from operations that was earned in the current year. Enter the final answers rounded to the nearest whole number.
units

6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant. Enter the final answer rounded to the nearest dollar.
$

7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year? Enter the final answer rounded to the nearest dollar.
$

8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?

1. In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point.
2. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
3. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point.
4. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.
5. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
