An auditor for a hardware store chain wished to compare the efficiency of two different auditing techniques. To do this he selected a sample of nine store accounts and applied auditing techniques A and B to each of the nine accounts selected. The number of errors found in each of techniques A and B is listed in the table below:
| Errors in A | Errors in B |
| 25 | 11 |
| 28 | 17 |
| 26 | 19 |
| 28 | 17 |
| 32 | 34 |
| 30 | 25 |
| 29 | 29 |
| 20 | 21 |
| 25 | 30 |
Select a 90% confidence interval for the true mean difference in
the two techniques.
a) [0.261, 8.627]
b) [-4.183, 4.183]
c) [2.195, 6.693]

Lipto Biomedic has credit sales of $740,000 yearly with credit terms of net 60 days, with an average collection period of 75 days. Lipto is considering offering a 3 percent discount for payment in 10 days. They would use the cash generated from the reduced receivables to reduce their bank loans which cost 8%. Assume ALL of the customers take advantage of the 3/10 terms. Use the following table to calculate the costs and benefits for Lipto and make decision at the bottom.
| Cost(s) |
Benefit(s) |
B) As mentioned above, Ipto Biomedic can borrow from its bank at 8% to take a cash discount offered by one of its suppliers. The terms of cash discount are 2/155 net 90. Should the Lipto borrow the funds? Why? Why not? Show all your work...
C) Lipto Biomedic sells its product for $32 each. The carrying costs of the inventory are $1.50 per unit and its costs Lipto $30 per order in purchasing agent time. If the raw materials can only be ordered by the "gross" (1 gross = 12 dozen = 144 items) What is the economic order quantity?

Excel can provide data analysis when you need to evaluate multiple conditions within one formula. One such example includes using nested statements. Someone might attempt to explain nested statements to a friend by giving the example of a Russian nesting doll, wherein different pieces of the function fit together to create one formula that yields a specific result.
There is a learning principal that states that being able to explain a topic to someone using non technical terms or an analogy demonstrates a true understanding of that topic. With that being said, share with the class how you would explain the function COUNTA to someone who is unfamiliar with Excel. Try not to explain how it works in Excel technically or how to perform the function, but relate it to something that can be easily understood, like the aforementioned Russian nesting doll analogy. Be creative and have fun!
