A worldwide cosmetic company can upgrade the quality of one of its products by purchasing new equipment at a cost of k240,000. The new equipment would replace old equipment that has a current market value of k80,000. The old equipment originally cost k150,000 three years ago and is been depreciated over it’s 15 year life on a straight line basis to zero salvage value. New equipment has an expected life of 12 years . It’s salvage value is estimated at k30,000. By upgrading the quality of this product, the company would be able to increase sales price. As a result, the operating income before tax will increase by k10,000 per year over its 12 year life. The company’s tax rate is 40% and it’s cost of capital after tax is 15%. Compute the Net present value and the internal rate of return for the investment.

Wall Street securities firms paid out record year-end bonuses of $125,500 per employee for 2005 (_Fortune, _February 6, 2006). Suppose we would like to take a sample of employees at the Jones & Ryan securities firm to see whether the mean year-end bonus is different from the reported mean of $125,500 for the population. A. State the null and alternative hypotheses you would use to test whether the year-end bonuses paid by Jones & Ryan were different from the population mean. B. Suppose a sample of 40 Jones & Ryan employees showed a sample mean year-end bonus of $118,000. Assume a population standard deviation of _Σ_ =$30,000 and compute the _p_-value. C. With _α _= .05 as the level of significance, what is your conclusion? D. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach.
