(you do not need to print this listit is too long) . construct a histogram of the wage variable using the graph command. is the distribution skewed to the left or right? » wages and earnings are often studied by first taking logarithms (note: in this course all logs are natural logs). transform the wage variable by taking its logarithm using the command generate and the function in, then report the mean value of the log(wage) variable. now use the table command to describe the frequencies of years of schooling (variable educatio) how many workers have exactly a high-school degree (12 years)? » how many have exactly a college degree (16 years)? how many have at least a college degree? » are. there workers who never went to school? » using only the information displayed in the table (and a calculator) calculate the average years of schooling in the sample use the stat a conn nand summarize to verify that your answ(r to (d) s correct use table to describe the frequencies of female, us citizens, blacks and hispanics in the sample. now use the sort command: » what is the race of the highest wage worker in the sample? what is their sex? » what is the highest education level in the sample? what is the highest wage of the highest educated person in the sample? now use the command means with the option level 99) to construct 99% confidence interval for the variable wage. is this narrower or wider than the 95% interval use the command ttest to test whether the probability of being a male is equal to the prob- ability of being a female against the two-sided alternative that they are unequal as well as against each one of the one-sided alternatives. make sure to formally state your null and althernative hypotheses in each case. interpret the p - value of your test.

Zachary company produces commercial gardening equipment. since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. the costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow: activities unit level batch level product level facility level cost $ 64,800 $ 27,730 $ 15,000 $ 154,000 cost driver 2,400 labor hrs. 47 setups percentage of use 11,000 units production of 780 sets of cutting shears, one of the company’s 20 products, took 240 labor hours and 7 setups and consumed 15 percent of the product-sustaining activities. required: (a) had the company used labor hours as a company wide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears? (b) how much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing? (c) compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 780 units are produced. if direct product costs are $150 and the product is priced at 30 percent above cost for what price would the product sell under each allocation system? (d) assuming that activity-based costing provides a more accurate estimate of cost, indicate whether the cutting shears would be over- or underpriced if direct labor hours are used as an allocation base. explain how over-or undercosting can affect vaulker's profitability. (e) comment on the validity of using the allocated facility-level cost in the pricing decision. should other costs be considered in a cost- plus pricing decision? if so, which ones? what costs would you include if you were trying to decide whether to accept a special order?
