Frannie Fans currently manufactures ceiling fans that include remotes to operate them. The current cost to manufacture 10,060 remotes is as follows:

Cost
Direct materials $ 65,390
Direct labor $ 55,330
Variable overhead $ 30,180
Fixed overhead $ 50,300
Total $ 201,200

Frannie is approached by Lincoln Company which offers to make the remotes for $18 per unit.

Required:

1. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the remotes if none of the fixed costs can be avoided. What is the change in net income?

2. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the remotes if $20,120 of the fixed costs can be avoided. What is the change in net income?

3. What is the change in net income if fixed cost of $20,120 can be avoided and Frannie could rent out the factory space no longer in use for $20,120?

Since the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis occurred, homebuyers have become more aware of their rights and responsibilities of understanding the various terms and conditions offered by lenders. First, find a dream house you might be interested in purchasing. It could be anywhere in United States, even a Hollywood mansion. Provide the city and state where the home is located and also the current value of the home. You can even include a picture, but make sure you credit the actual source. Please note, you don’t have sufficient cash to purchase this property out right and will need to finance.

Next, fill out the Mortgage Payment Spreadsheet with the following information (but don’t share it):

price of the property-$200,000
down payment – should be 20%
interest rate – use the current 30-year Fixed Rate Mortgage from FRED
PMT frequency - monthly
In your initial post, address the following:

What was the overall amount of interest paid over the term of the loan?
Change multiple variables (such as interest rate, down payment) and describe the impact of each.
In your analysis, what variable played the biggest role on the total amount paid on the loan amount over the life of the mortgage? Be creative, you can even prepay throughout the life of the mortgage.
After doing this exercise, would you be changing anything in your current mortgage or maybe future mortgage?

Suppose x has a distribution with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 12. Random samples of size n = 64 are drawn.

(a) Describe the x bar distribution. x bar has an approximately normal distribution. x bar has a Poisson distribution. x bar has a binomial distribution. x bar has an unknown distribution. x bar has a normal distribution. x bar has a geometric distribution. Compute the mean and standard deviation of the distribution. (For each answer, enter a number.) mu sub x bar = mu sub x bar = sigma sub x bar = sigma sub x bar =

(b) Find the z value corresponding to x bar = 83. (Enter an exact number.) z =

(c) Find P(x bar < 83). (Enter a number. Round your answer to four decimal places.) P(x bar < 83) = P(x bar < 83)

(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of size 64 from the x distribution to have a sample mean less than 83?

Bob works for Jet Skis Incorporated, and is the top salesperson for the past five years. The manager Bill tells Bob “I have to let you go, good luck finding a new job.” Bob asks why and Bill says “You are an at-will employee, I do not have to give you a reason.” Bob, who is 44 years old, notices three other employees were also terminated, all identified as Hispanic ethnicity, over 40 years of age. Does Bob have any actionable claim he can file against the company? Explain what is the bases of his claim?

Zoey Responded with:

I’m hopeful that Bill is not a manager in the HR department! Bob absolutely has an actionable item against Bill and Jet Skis, Inc. for several reasons that he must prove – which should not be hard based on the information presented. Federal and state discrimination statues prohibit employers (except in the state of Montana) from basing employment decisions on an employee’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or veteran status.[1] Although the laws governing employment vary from state to state (and Country to Country), there are a few basic elements for Employment-At-Will (or Termination-At-Will) suggesting that employers may dismiss at will for good cause, for no cause, or even for a cause that is morally wrong. However, there are limitations to employment-at-will which can include fixed-term contracts as well as proscriptive and retaliatory statutes. The proscriptive limitations generally prohibit discharge based on employee characteristics, such as laws barring discrimination on the basis of age, race, or disability. On the other hand, retaliatory statutes bar discharge in response to something an employee has done, such as whistle-blower protection or laws prohibiting a company from firing an employee who has filed a workers’ compensation claim.[2] Additionally, the reason for dismissal must not violate federal or state law.[3]

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older.[4] - Bob is 44 years old. The Equality Act of 2010 says that you must not discriminate based on color, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origins, and racial groups.[5] - the given scenerio presents Bob as one of four employees terminated who are all of Hispanic ethnicity and all over the age of 40. Without additional information, it does appear that the EEOC would at least open an investigation into Bob's termination.  Bill's actions would be very difficult to defend in court without written and substantiated documentation for the termination of the employees.

The Wall Street Journal Corporate Perceptions Study 2011 surveyed readers and asked how each rated the quality of management and the reputation of the company for over 250 worldwide corporations. Both the quality of management and the reputation of the company were rated on an excellent, good, and fair categorical scale. Assume the sample data for 200 respondents below applies to this study.

Quality of Management Reputation of Company
Excellent Good Fair
Excellent 40 25 8
Good 35 35 10
Fair 25 10 12

Use a 0.05 level of significance and test for independence of the quality of management and the reputation of the company.

A) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: Quality of management is independent of the reputation of the company.
Ha: Quality of management is not independent of the reputation of the company.

H0: Quality of management is not independent of the reputation of the company.
Ha: Quality of management is independent of the reputation of the company.    

H0: Quality of management is not independent of the reputation of the company.
Ha: The proportion of companies with excellent management is not equal across companies with differing reputations.

H0: Quality of management is independent of the reputation of the company.
Ha: The proportion of companies with excellent management is equal across companies with differing reputations.

B) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

C) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

D) State your conclusion.

Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the rating for the quality of management is independent of the rating of the reputation of the company.

Reject H0. We conclude that the rating for the quality of management is not independent of the rating for the reputation of the company.     

Reject H0. We conclude that the rating for the quality of management is independent of the rating for the reputation of the company.

Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the ratings for the quality of management and the reputation of the company are not independent.

E) If there is a dependence or association between the two ratings, discuss and use probabilities to justify your answer.

For companies with an excellent reputation, the largest column probability corresponds to [ EXCELLENT/GOOD/FAIR ] excellent good fair management quality. For companies with a good reputation, the largest column probability corresponds to [ EXCELLENT/GOOD/FAIR ] excellent good fair management quality. For companies with a fair reputation, the largest column probability corresponds to [ EXCELLENT/GOOD/FAIR ] excellent good fair management quality. Since these highest probabilities correspond to [THE SAME/DIFFERENT ] the same different ratings of quality of management and reputation, the two ratings are [ ASSOCIATED/INDEPENDENT ] associated independent.
