Plan A requires $40,000,000 in start-up capital, has annual fixed costs of $4,000,000 and variable costs of $3,300 per unit to open the new jet boat production facility. The attached sheet shows IBC’s projections for the possible sales estimate scenarios. We see that unless sales of the jet boat totally flop, the company has an ROI of 28.5% in the most likely of scenarios but has an ROI of 56% in the most optimistic scenario. The attached sheet provides the figures used in calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) of the new facility. Plan B’s capital requirements are $45,000,000, annual fixed costs of $4,800,000 and variable costs of $3,000 per unit.
B. the standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the statistic. C. the total sum of squares of deviations of the observations about the mean. D. the number of standard deviations that a statistic value differs from the parameter value. 8. A theoretical sampling distribution of a statistic consists of A. the results of a sample.

Answer: $235,000 6. Corporation P owns 85 percent of Corporation S1; Corporation S1 owns 60 percent of Corporation S2; Corporation S2 owns 90 percent of S3; Corporation S3 owns 60 percent of Corporation S4 and 15 percent of Corporation S2; Corporation S4 owns 100 percent of Corporation S5. Identify the consolidated group of corporations. Answer: P, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 7. Corporation P files a consolidated return with Corporation S. In preparing a consolidated return, their accountant finds the following: Separate taxable income (loss) P= $500,000 S= ($200,000) Capital gain (loss)
What is the median of the above values? The median is calculated by adding together the two middle numbers and dividing by 2 (2 values). The numbers must be in ascending or descending order. 5.0+5.7=10.7/2=5.35=5.4 is the median of the numbers listed in this question. What is the mean of the above values?
The Lockit Company manufactures door knobs for residential homes and apartments. Lockit is considering the use of simple (single-driver) and multiple regression analyses to forecast annual sales because previous forecasts have been inaccurate. The new sales forecast will be used to initiate the budgeting process and to identify more completely the underlying process that generates sales. Larry Husky, the controller of Lockit, has considered many possible independent variables and equations to predict sales and has narrowed his choices to four equations. Husky used annual observations from 20 prior years to estimate each of the four equations.
False For independent populations, the standard deviation of the distribution of the differences has a variance equal to the sum of the two individual variances. A. True B. False To ensure that two independent samples are large enough that the distribution of the sample means follow a normal distribution, the practice is to require that both samples have at least 30 observations. A.
Case 9 – Individual assignment: “Inspecting PCAOB Registered Accounting Firms” Background You are to access and evaluate the latest PCAOB inspection report for four audit firms that you select from the list below (one large U.S. firm, one foreign firm, and one smaller U.S. firm). Our objective is to better understand quality control in contemporary auditing practice and to assess the possible effects of public disclosure of inspection reports by the PCAOB. PCAOB inspection reports are available on the PCAOB’s website at www.PCAOB.org. To locate them, on the PCAOB’s home-page, click on the Inspections tab and then click on “All Firm Inspection Reports to Date”. This will give you an alphabetic listing of all firm inspection reports.
This is a standard deviation of the mean, i.e. the variability of the mean from sample to sample. When σ is the standard deviation of the population, represents the standard error of the mean. • Given a sample of data x1, x2,…,xn, the standard error of is o p is the population proportion, with p(1)=p and p(0)=1-p, E(X)=p and SD: • Role within a confidence interval. The standard Error forms part of the construction of the confidence interval, as the range of a confidence interval is defined by the number of standard errors away from the mean.
We select one of the samples by a random process in which each sample receives its appropriate probability of being selected. 4. The method for computing the estimate must lead to a unique estimate for any specific sample. For any sampling procedure of this type we can calculate the frequency distribution of the estimates that it generates if repeatedly applied to the same population and therefore determine bias and variance of the estimator. In general we do not assume that the underlying population follows a normal distribution, but in order to calculate bounds and confidence intervals from single samples it may be useful to assume that the estimates follow a
