Complete question is;
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a toll-free help line for taxpayers to call in and get answers to questions as they prepare their tax returns. In recent years, the IRS has been inundated with taxpayer calls and has redesigned its phone service as well as posting answers to frequently asked questions on its website (The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 7, 2010). According to a report by a taxpayer advocate, callers using the new system can expect to wait on hold for an unreasonably long time of 14 minutes before being able to talk to an IRS employee. Suppose you select a sample of 50 callers after the new phone service has been implemented; the sample results show a mean waiting time of 12 minutes before an IRS employee comes on line. Based upon data from past years, you decide it is reasonable to assume that the standard deviation of waiting times is 10 minutes. Use a = 0.05.
a. State the hypotheses.
b. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)?
c. Using a = 0.05, can you conclude that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate
Answer:
A) Null hypothesis; H0: μ ≥ 14
Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ < 14
B) P-value ≈ 0.0793
C) The p-value is less than the significance value and thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to reject the claim that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate
Explanation:
We are given;
Population mean time; μ = 14
Sample mean time; x¯ = 12
Population size; n = 50
Standard deviation; σ = 10
A) Let's state the hypotheses;
Null hypothesis; H0: μ ≥ 14
Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ < 14
B) Let's first find the test statistic from the formula;
z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)
z = (12 - 14)/(10/√50)
z = -1.41
From online p-value from z-score calculator attached using; z = -1.41: α = 0.05 and one tailed hypothesis, we have;
P-value ≈ 0.0793
C) The p-value is less than the significance value and thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to reject the claim that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate

Interest earnings of 4 percent with a $450 minimum balance; average monthly balance, $600; monthly service charge of $20 for falling below the minimum balance, which occurs five times a year (no interest earned in these months). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answers
Answer:
$86
Explanation:
Missing word "What could be the net annual cost"
Monthly fee = $20
Interest rate = 4% = 0.04
Average monthly balance = $600
Net annual cost = $20*5 - 0.04*$600*7/12
Net annual cost = $100 - $14
Net annual cost = $86
So, the net annual cost of this account is $86.
During the current year, Rothchild, Inc., purchased two assets that are described as follows:
Heavy Equipment
Purchase price, $275,000.
Expected to be used for 10 years, with a residual value at the end of that time of $50,000.
Expenditures required to recondition the equipment and prepare it for use, $75,000.
Patent
Purchase price, $75,000.
Expected to be used for five years, with no value at the end of that time.
Rothchild depreciates heavy equipment by the declining-balance method at 150 percent of the straight-line rate. It amortizes intangible assets by the straight-line method. At the end of two years, because of changes in Rothchild's core business, it sold the patent to a competitor for $35,000.

businesses do not maximise outputs from the given inputs
Answers
Answer:
Businesses that do not maximise outputs from the given inputs are inefficient, and probably have diseconomies of scale, the opposite of economies of scale, that ocurrs when output increases proportionally less than the inputs that are invested.
This situation arises as a result of an economic law, the law of diminishing retuns. According to this economic law, there is a point in the production process in which the use of additional units of input do not result in a proportional yield, in other words, when a business presents diminishing returns, the more inputs it adds, the less output grows in proportion to the inputs.

Explanation:
Net profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio. It measures he ability of a firm to earn a profit from its assets
Net profit margin = Net income / Revenue
0.05 = x / 9800
net income = 490
net income per share = 490 / 4500 = 0.109
p/e = 1.9 / 0.109 = 17.43
Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:
ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage
ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)

b. $3,000
c. $1,500
d. $3,200
e. $16,000
Answers
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $3,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $16,000
Useful life= 15,000 machine hours
Salvage value= $1,000
Machine hours 20X1= 3,000
To calculate the depreciation expense for 20X1, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(16,000 - 1,000) / 15,000]* 3,000
Annual depreciation= $3,000

Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm’s direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client’s job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients. Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 50,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $225,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $238,100 and its actual total direct labor was 53,100 hours. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Tech Solutions started and completed the Xavier Company engagement. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 44,850 Direct labor cost $ 28,200 Direct labor hours worked 200 Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1. The predetermined overhead rate is
= $0.50 + ($225,000 ÷ 50,000 direct labor hours)
= $.50 + $4.5
= $5
2. The total job cost is
= $44,850 + $28,200 + 200 × $5
= $44,850 + $28,200 + $1,000
= $74,050
So in this way these can be calculated

Georgina consumes only grapefruits and pineapples. Her utility function is U (x comma y )equals x to the power of 0.8 end exponent y to the power of 0.2 end exponent, where x is the number of grapefruits consumed and y is the number of pineapples consumed. Georgina’s income is $105, and the prices of grapefruits and pineapples are $4 and $3, respectively. How many grapefruits will she consume?
Answers
Answer:
21
Explanation:
Given that:
The utility function U(x, y) = [tex]x^{0.8} y^{0.2}[/tex]
The budget line income is:
105=4x +3y
The equation MRTS is:
[tex]\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}[/tex]
where;
[tex]MU_x(x,y) = 0.8 \times x^{0.8-1}\times y^{0.2} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2}[/tex]
[tex]MU_y(x,y) = 0.2 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{0.2-1} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}[/tex]
and:
[tex]P_y= 3[/tex]
[tex]P_x = 4[/tex]
∴
Using the equation MRTS:
[tex]\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{ 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2} }{0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{4y }{x} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]
4x = 12y
x = 12y/4
x = 3y
Replacing the value of x into the budget line income, we have:
105 = 4x + 3y
105 = 4(3y) + 3y
105 = 12y + 3y
105 = 15y
y = 105/15
y = 7
Then, from x = 3y
x = 3(7)
x = 21
Thus, she will consume 21 gapefruits

Answers
Answer:
When a journal entry is made in a standard cost system to record the liability for direct manufacturing labor costs, the difference between the debits to the work in process accounts and the credits to the payroll payable is:___________
the price and the efficiency labor variances.
Explanation:
The total direct labor cost variance is the difference between the standard cost for actual production and the actual cost in production. It is divided into two main variances. They are the Labor Rate (price) Variance and the Labor Efficiency Variance. Using standard cost system, the cost debited to the work in process account is based on standard cost, while the corresponding credit entry in the payroll payable is based on the actual cost. The labor variance is, therefore, the price and efficiency labor variances.

Answers
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (19.8 - 20.7)*4,900
Direct material price variance= $4,410 unfavorable
Actual price= 101,430/4,900= $20.7
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8.6*650 - 4,600)*19.8
Direct material quantity variance= $19,602 favorable

Gilbert is an independent consultant who helps organizations select the right accounting software for their needs. After evaluating a local nonprofit organization, Gilbert recommended an accounting software package that he believes meets specifications, secures documents, and satisfies user requirements.

Answers
Answer:
A=1466858
B=$150000
C=10%
Explanation:
A)
Present value of $150000 at 11% for 40 years;
Using excel PV function: PV(11%,40,-150000) = $1342657.623
Therefore, 1466858 should be selected.
B)
Present value of $150000 at 9% for 40 years
= PV(9%,40,-150000) = $1613604.03
Therefore payment of $150000 should be selected
