Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $35 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

You are a researcher interested in measuring self-esteem. You give your participants a 10-item questionnaire with items, such as “I feel that I have a number of good qualities” or “I take a positive attitude toward myself.” Participants indicate agreement to these questions on the same 5-point scales, ranging from 1 (not at all agree) to 5 (completely agree). On which scale level do you measure self-esteem? Nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio? Why?

You would be most likely to use operant conditioning to teach a dog to ____.

An economist wonders if corporate productivity in some countries is more volatile than in other countries. One measure of a company's productivity is annual percentage yield based on total company assets.

A random sample of leading companies in France gave the following percentage yields based on assets.

Use a calculator to verify that the sample variance is s² ≈ 1.982 for this sample of French companies.

Another random sample of leading companies in Germany gave the following percentage yields based on assets.

Use a calculator to verify that s² ≈ 1.108 for this sample of German companies.

Test the claim that there is a difference (either way) in the population variance of percentage yields for leading companies in France and Germany. Use a 5% level of significance. How could your test conclusion relate to the economist's question regarding volatility (data spread) of corporate productivity of large companies in France compared with companies in Germany?

(a) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H_o: σ₁² = σ₂²; H₁: σ₁² > σ₂²H_o: σ₁² > σ₂²; H₁: σ₁² = σ₂²     H_o: σ₂² = σ₁²; H₁: σ₂² > σ₁²H_o: σ₁² = σ₂²; H₁: σ₁² ≠ σ₂²

(b) Find the value of the sample F statistic. (Use 2 decimal places.)


What are the degrees of freedom?

What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?

The populations follow dependent normal distributions. We have random samples from each population.The populations follow independent normal distributions.     The populations follow independent normal distributions. We have random samples from each population.The populations follow independent chi-square distributions. We have random samples from each population.

(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic. (Use 4 decimal places.)

p-value > 0.2000.100 < p-value < 0.200     0.050 < p-value < 0.1000.020 < p-value < 0.0500.002 < p-value < 0.020p-value < 0.002

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.     At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is greater in the French companies.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is greater in the French companies.     Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is different in both companies.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the variance in percentage yields on assets is different in both companies.

The basic elements of modern portfolio theory were proposed by Dr. Harry M.Markowitz in 1952. He provided the theoretical framework for the systematic composition of optimum portfolio.
