You are interested in purchasing a new car and have done some research. One of the many points you wish to consider is the resal

e value of the car after 5 years. You wish to estimate the resale value of the one that piques your interest with a 99% confidence interval. In your research, you obtain data on 17 recently resold 5-year-old sedans of the same model you wish to purchase. These 17 cars were resold at an average price of $12,500 with a standard deviation of $700. What is the 99% CI for the true mean resale value?

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (12004.26;12995.74)  

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=12500 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=700 represent the sample standard deviation

n=17 represent the sample size  

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=17-1=16

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,16)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.92

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

12500-2.92\frac{700}{\sqrt{17}}=12004.26    

12500+2.92\frac{700}{\sqrt{17}}=12995.74    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (12004.26;12995.74)

Aberwald Corporation expects to sell 90,000 bags of lawn fertilizer annually. The optimal safety stock (which is on hand initial
UNO [17]

Answer:

Annual demand (U) = 90.000 bags

Cost of each bag = $1.50

Inventory carrying cost per unit(C) = $1.50 × 20% = 0 30

Ordering cost per unit (O) = $15

Part A)

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2UO}{C}}

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 90000 * 15}{0.30}}

EOQ = \sqrt{9000000}

EOQ = 3,000

Part B)

Maximum inventory = EOQ + Safety inventory on hand  

Maximum inventory = 3000 + 1000

Maximum inventory = 4.000

Part C)

Average inventory = Maximum inventory + Minimum or Safety /2

Average inventory = 4,000 + 1,000 / 2

Average inventory =2,500

Part D)

How often company order = Annual demand / EOQ

How often company order = 90,000 / 3.000

How often company order = 30

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Under/over allocation= $6,850 overallocated

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours to apply overhead to individual jobs. For the current year, estimated direct labor hours are 153,000 and estimated factory overhead is $1,208,700.

The following information is for September:

Direct labor hours: Job X 9,000 Job Y 7,500

Labor costs incurred: Direct labor ($8.00 per hour) $ 132,000

Manufacturing overhead costs:

Indirect labor 56,000

Factory supervisory salaries 13,100

Rental costs:

Factory $ 11,300

Total equipment depreciation costs:

Factory $ 12,400

Indirect materials used $ 30,700

Total= 123,500

First, we need to determine the manufacturing overhead rate:

manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead/ total amount of allocation base

manufacturing overhead rate= 1208700/ 153000= $7.9 per direct labor hour

Allocated overhead= manufacturing overhead rate* actual allocation base= 7.9* 16500 hours= $130,350

Under/over allocation= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over allocation= 123500 - 130350= 6850 overallocated
