As the bakery manager at the local grocery store, Donald monitored the mix of products most popular with consumers. Just two years earlier, this store sold eight loaves of bread for each package of buns sold. Today, the ratio is closer to six to one, bread to buns. Donald isn't sure why tastes or buying behavior have changed, but it's significant, so his purchasing behavior has changed accordingly. For the year just ended, the bakery department budgeted for sales of 10,200 loaves of bread and 1,800 packages of buns. Actual sales were 9,900 loaves of bread and 1,100 packages of buns.

Sandra owns a small manufacturing company, Tamarisk Camping Stuff Co. The company has been working to perfect a lightweight plastic material to be used for a variety of camping products. Sandra plans to enter the marketplace with a durable, lightweight folding table. Similar tables regularly sell for $39-$44 for a 6-foot table, so Sandra realizes that she'll have to stay within that range.

Ten years ago, Judy Kaplan lost her marketing position due to a merger and was looking for a new job. As she discussed her search with Marty and Angela Curry, they realized she might be the perfect partner for their new business. For the last six years, the Curry’s had made and sold six different flavors of pickled garlic at local festivals. People who tried the product really seemed to like it. They had made the decision to go into the pickled garlic business full-time, but needed about $20,000 more to actually make the final move. Kaplan looked at their business plan and agreed to become a partner in the business. One of the first problems the partnership experienced was over pricing. Kaplan wanted to price the bottled garlic high enough so her money would earn the interest it would have received (10%) if she had left it in her investment account. The Curry’s wanted to set a low price so that they could acquire loyal customers. In its first year of operation, the company sold 8,000…

Kathy’s Kettle Potato Chips produces gourmet chips distributed to chain sub shops throughout California. To ensure that their chips are of the highest quality and have taste appeal, Kathy has a rigorous inspection process. For quality control purposes, Kathy has a standard based on the number of pounds of chips inspected per hour and the number of pounds that pass or fail the inspection. Kathy expects that for every 1,000 pounds of chips produced, 200 pounds of chips will be inspected. Inspection of 200 pounds of chips should take 1 hour. Kathy also expects that 1% of the chips inspected will fail the inspection. During the month of May, Kathy produced 113,000 pounds of chips and inspected 22,300 pounds of chips in 120 hours. Of the 22,300 pounds of chips inspected, 215 pounds of chips failed to pass the inspection. Q. Compute two variances that can be used to evaluate the percentage of the chips that fails the inspection
