We are interested in determining whether or not the variances of the sales at two music stores (a and b) are equal. a sample of 26 days of sales at store a has a sample standard deviation of 30 while a sample of 16 days of sales from store b has a sample standard deviation of 20. 17. refer to exhibit 11-2. the test statistic is a. 1.50 b. 0.67 c. 1.56 d. 2.25 18. refer to exhibit 11-2. the p-value for this test is a. between 0.05 and 0.10 b. between 0.10 and 0.2 c. between 0.2 and 0.3 d. none of these alternatives is correct. 19. refer to exhibit 1 1-2 at 95% confidence the null hypothesis a. should be rejected b. should not be rejected c. should be revised d. none of these alternatives is correct.

Shrieves casting company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by sidney johnson, a recently graduated mba. the production line would be set up in unused space in the main plant. the machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $200,000, another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. the machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and shrieves has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the macrs 3-year class. the machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use. the new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. the sales price and cost are both expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of sales revenues. the firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital, which is the risk-adjusted cost of capital for an average project (r), is 10%. define “incremental cash flow.” (1) should you subtract interest expense or dividends when calculating project cash flow?

The rybczynski theorem describes: (a) how commodity price changes influence real factor rewards (b) how commodity price changes influence relative factor rewards. (c) how changes in factor endowments cause changes in commodity outputs. (d) how trade leads to factor price equalization.
