Chapter 16.II, Problem 9RE
BUSINESS DECISION: OVER OR UNDER?
You own Bristol Murine, a retailer of boats, motors, and marine accessories. The store manager has just informed you that the amount of the physical inventory was incorrectly reported as $540,000 instead of the correct amount of $450,000. Unfortunately, yesterday you sent the quarterly financial statements to the stockholders. Now you must send revised statements and a letter of explanation.
a. What effect did the error have on the items of the balance sheet for Bristol? Express your answer as overstated or understated for the items affected by the error.
b. What effect will the error have on the items of the income statement for Bristol?
c. Did this error make the Bristol quarterly results look better or worse than they actually were?

Q9. If A and B are two events, prove that P(ANB) ≥ 1 − P(Ā) – P(B). [Note: This
is a simplified version of the Bonferroni inequality.]
Ruff, Inc. makes dog food out of chicken and grain. Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce, and grain has 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat per ounce. A bag of dog food must contain at least 222 grams of protein and at least 162 grams of fat. If chicken costs 11¢ per ounce and grain costs 1¢ per ounce, how many ounces of each should Ruff use in each bag of dog food to minimize cost? (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
Q6. Consider a situation where cars entering an intersection could turn right, turn left,
or go straight. An experiment consists of observing two vehicles moving through
the intersection.
(a) How many sample points are there in the sample space? List them.
(b) Assuming that all sample points are equally likely, what is the probability that
at least one car turns left?
(c) Again assuming equally likely sample points, what is the probability that at
most one vehicle turns right?
