How do I solve this please:

Gwen Pet Supplies purchases its inventory from a variety of suppliers, some of which require a six-week lead time before delivering the goods. To ensure that she has a sufficient supply of goods on hand, Ms. Leblanc, the owner, must maintain a large supply of inventory. The cost of this inventory averages $67,000. She usually finances the purchase of inventory and pays a 5 percent annual finance charge. Ms. Leblanc’s accountant has suggested that she establish a relationship with a single large distributor who can satisfy all of her orders within a two-week time period. Given this quick turnaround time, she will be able to reduce her average inventory balance to $17,000. Ms. Leblanc also believes that she could save $9,000 per year by reducing phone bills, insurance, and warehouse rental space costs associated with ordering and maintaining the larger level of inventory.

Required

  1. Based on the information provided, how much of Ms. Leblanc’s inventory holding cost could be eliminated by taking the accountant’s advice?

The all equity capital structure would consist of 26,000 shares. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares plus $270,000 of debt with an interest rate of 7 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options? Ignore taxes.1. $24,123.272. $26,803.643. $18,762.554. $44,672.735. $21,442.91Martin and Sons (M and S) currently is an all equity firm with 50,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $15 a share.

H0: µ ≤ 16.70 vs. HA: µ > 16.70

What is the test statistic for sample of size 24, mean 14.05, and standard deviation 1.87? Enter the tst statistic with 2 decimals places.

A sample of size 20 yields a sample mean of 23.5 and a sample standard deviation of 4.3.

Test H0: Mean ≥ 25 at α = 0.10. HA: Mean < 25. This is a one-tailed test with lower reject region bounded by a negative critical value.

A.     Pvalue 0.068. H0 rejected. Conclude mean < 25

B.     Pvalue 0.932. H0 not rejected. Conclude mean ≥ 25

C.     Pvalue 0.135. H0 not rejected. Conclude mean ≥ 25

D.     None of the answers are correct.

The results of sampling independent populations:

sample 1 from population 1

•            mean 80

•            population variance 3

•            sample size 25

sample 2 from population 2

•            mean 81

•            population variance 2

•            sample size 50

Note that the population variances are known. Test H0: (population 1 mean – population2 mean) ≤ 0 at α = 0.05. HA: (population1 mean – population2 mean) > 0. This is a one-tailed test with upper reject region and positive critical value.

A.     Pvalue 0.0124. H0 rejected. Concluded difference of means > 0.

B.     Pvalue 0.0062. H0 rejected. Concluded difference of means > 0.

C.     Pvalue 0.9938. H0 not rejected. Concluded difference of means ≤ 0.
