A certain drug is used to treat asthma. In a clinical trial of the drug, 29 of 283 treated subjects experienced headaches (based on data from the manufacturer). The accompanying calculator display shows results from a test of the claim that less than 11% of treated subjects experienced headaches. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution and assume a 0.01 significance level to complete parts (a) through (e) below. C. H0: p=0.11 D. H0: p ≠ 0.11 Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis. Choose the correct answer below. A. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, α. B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, α. C. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, α. D. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, α. e. What is the final conclusion? A. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than 11% of treated subjects experienced headaches. B. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than 11% of treated subjects experienced headaches. C. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that less than 11% of treated subjects experienced headaches. D. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that less than 11% of treated subjects experienced headaches.
FunTime Cruiseline offers nightly dinner cruises departing from several cities on the East Coast of the United States including Charleston, Baltimore, and Alexandria. Dinner cruise tickets sell for 50 per passenger. FunTime Cruiseline's variable cost of providing the dinner is 30 per passenger, and the fixed cost of operating the vessels (depreciation, salaries, docking fees, and other expenses) is 210,000 per month. Under these conditions, the breakeven point in tickets is 10,500 and the breakeven point in sales dollars is 525,000. 1. Suppose FunTime Cruiseline cuts its dinner cruise ticket price from 50 to 45 to increase the number of passengers. Compute the new breakeven point in units and in sales dollars. Explain how changes in sales price generally affect the breakeven point. 2. Assume that FunTime Cruiseline does not cut the price. FunTime Cruiseline could reduce its variable costs by no longer serving an appetizer before dinner. Suppose this operating change reduces the variable expense from 30 to 20 per passenger. Compute the new breakeven point in units and in dollars. Explain how changes in variable costs generally affect the breakeven point. All else being constant, a decrease in sales price will decrease the contribution margin per unit and contribution margin ratio. The breakeven point will therefore increase. Assume that FunTime Cruiseline does not cut the price. FunTime Cruiseline could reduce its variable costs by no longer serving an appetizer before dinner. Suppose this operating change reduces the variable expense from 30 to 20 per passenger. Compute the new breakeven point in units and in dollars. Explain how changes in variable costs generally affect the breakeven point.
Problem 1: Textbook problem M6-18 (page 6-39) (Please refer to the textbook - 'Financial Accounting for MBAs" by Easton et al.) Assume 1,600 units are sold, instead of 2,000 given in the book. Also assume that the income tax rate is at 40% flat. Fill the answer below: LO6-1 M6-18. Computing Cost of Goods Sold and Ending Inventory Under FIFO, LIFO, and Average Cost Assume that Madden Company reports the following initial balance and subsequent purchase of inventory. Inventory begins at beginning of year, Inventory purchased during the year. 1,300 units 150 each 1,700 units 180 each 195,000 306,000 Cost of goods available for sale during the year. 3,000 units 501,000 b. LIFO cost of goods sold = Inventory Purchases: Beginning Inventory: 1,300 units at 150 = 195,000 Purchases: 1,700 units at 180 each = 306,000 Total Units Available for Sale: 3,000 units Units Sold: 1,600 units COGS under LIFO: From the last 1,700 units purchased at 180, we sell 1,600 units (all from this layer). Total LIFO COGS = 1,600 units x 180 = 288,000 LIFO ending inventories = After selling 1,600 units, the remaining inventory will consist of 3,000 (total units available) - 1,600 (units sold) = 1,400 remaining inventory After selling all 1,600 units from the recent purchase at 180, there will still be 100 out of the original 1,700 units left at 180. Plus we have the 1,300 units at 150 (all that remain). Total Value of Ending Inventory: (100 units x 180) + (1,300 units x 150) = 18,000 + 195,000 = 213,000. LIFO Ending Inventories = 213,000 Problem 2: Follow-up to Problem 1 (above): Assume in the next year (Year 2), assume that Madden Corp purchases 1,500 units of inventory at a unit price of 170 and sold 2,000 units. For this second year, answer the following questions: a.) LIFO cost of goods sold = b.) LIFO ending inventories =
