Explain how Activity Based Costing can help supply this information to Ford’s management

Below is the question and student rsponse. Reply to the students response in 150 wordsQuestion In its advertising, Ford Motor Company says “Quality is Job One.” Ford is indicating that good quality is the most important consideration for its customers. This would include customer satisfaction on delivery dates and specific areas of car performance, including properly closing doors, and defect rates. Explain how Activity Based Costing can help supply this information to Ford’s managementstudents respose As this case mentioned, if there are too many cars have brought into the dealerships for closing door issues, that means activities related to the doors have to be monitored closely.

Formulate an appropriate hypothesis testing procedure to answer this question.

During the 1999 and 2000 baseball seasons, there was much speculation that the unusually large number of home runs that were hit was due at least in part to a livelier ball. One way to test the “liveliness” of a baseball is to launch the ball at a vertical surface with a known velocity VL and measure the ratio of the outgoing velocity VO of the ball to VL. The ratio R= VO/VL is called the coefficient of restitution. If the mean coefficient of restitution exceeds 0.635, the population of balls from which the sample has been taken will be too “lively” and considered unacceptable for play.(a) Formulate an appropriate hypothesis testing procedure to answer this question.(b) Test these hypotheses using the data and draw conclusions, using ? = 0.01.(c) Find the P-value for this test.(d) you found a 99% confidence interval on the mean coefficient of restitution. Does this interval, or a one-sided CI, provide additional useful information to the decision maker? Explain why or why not.
