Explanation:
When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 26% of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 67 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 67 dragon eggs.
1. What is the mean number of yellow eggs in samples of 67 eggs? (that is the same as asking for the expected value of the number of yellow eggs)
(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
mean =
2. What is the standard deviation in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 67?
(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
standard deviation =
3. What is the variance in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 67?
(Remember to calculate the answer using at least 5 decimal places, then give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
Answer:
μ= 17.42
var= 12.891= 12.9
σ = 3.59
Explanation:
As the number of trials are fixed i.e 67 and the success is also fixed i.e 26% or 0.26 this is treated as a binomial experiment.
The mean of the binomial experiment is calculated as
μ= np = 67*0.26= 17.42
This is the same as the expected value of number of yellow eggs.
E(y)= np=μ= 67*0.26= 17.42
The variance of the binomial experiment is calculated as
var= npq = 67*0.26(1-0.26)= 67*0.26(0.74)= 12.8908= 12.891
The standard deviation of the binomial experiment is calculated as
σ =√npq= √12.8908= 3.590376 = 3.59038= 3.5904 = 3.590= 3.59

Answer:
$300
Explanation:
Let D0 and S0 be the initial demand and supply curves for gasoline. Let P* and Q* be the initial equilibrium in this market. There is an increase in incomes due to a technology boom. Which ONE of the following correctly captures the effect of this change on the market for gasoline? Question 3 options: Both equilibrium quantity and price will increase Both equilibrium quantity and price will decrease Equilibrium quantity will increase, but equilibrium price will decrease Equilibrium quantity will decrease, but equilibrium price will increase
Answer: Both equilibrium quantity and price will increase
Explanation:
If there is an increase in income, it means that people can afford to buy more gasoline or rather will buy more things that need gasoline such as cars.
The demand for gasoline will therefore go up and shift the demand curve to the right. The demand curve will then intersect with the supply curve at a higher equilibrium price and quantity.
CalMark is a privately held company, so there is no information about beta available. However, a company in the same business with a debt to equity ratio the same as that of CalMark is publicly traded and has a beta which is two times that of the market. If the risk free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 5%, what is the estimated cost of existing equity for CalMark
Answer:
r - Calmark = 14%
Explanation:
Based on the comparative company analysis and using the CAPM we can calculate the required rate of return for CalMark. The comparative company analysis means to use the companies similar to the subject company to assume various ratios and factor about the subject company.
The formula to calculate the cost of equity which is also known as the required rate of return (r) is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the market risk premiumThe beta for market is always equal to 1. So a beta twice of the market will be 2.
r - Calmark = 4% + 2 * 5%
r - Calmark = 14%

Which of the following costs is most likely NOT included in a bill from the university for a college student living on campus?
Select the best answer from the choices provided.
OA. tuition
OB.
cell phone
Ос.
fees
OD. housing
Answer:
B. cell phone
Explanation:
Out of all the following costs, the most likely not to be included in a bill from the university for a college student living on campus is "Cell Phone."
This is because except a student is on full scholarship, Tuition is a must cost to be included in the bill.
Also, student fees that cover extra costs like insurance, and health care are usually included in student bills.
Similarly, the housing cost covers a hostel or off-campus accommodation for students. Hence it is also included in the student bill.
Hence, the correct answer is the cost of a "Cell phone." Which doesn't concern the school whether a student has or not.

During its first year of operations, Mack's Plumbing Supply Co. had sales of $550,000, wrote off $8,800 of accounts as uncollectible using the direct write-off method, and reported net income of $60,500. Determine what the net income would have been if the allowance method had been used, and the company estimated that 2.5% of sales would be uncollectible.
Answer:
$60,500
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivables. Also, the total asset or net income is not affected by the write off or specific account. Instead, both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debt expense is predicted and then recorded with an adjusting entry.

Answer:
Aggregating potential car buyers into groups that have common needs and will respond in the same way to a marketing campaign is a process known as:
Market segmentation.
Explanation:
Market segmentation is a marketing effort by a business entity to classify its customers into groups according to similar characteristics and based on Demographic, Psychographic, Geographic, and Behavioral segments. Market segmentation helps the entity to identify market opportunities, design products, time marketing efforts, select appropriate media, and efficiently allocate resources to achieve its marketing goals.
Bonds issued by XYZ have a par value of $1000, were priced at $1,220.00 six months ago, and are priced at $1,140.00 today. The bonds pay semi-annual coupons and just made a coupon payment. If the bonds had a percentage return over the past 6 months (from 6 months ago to today) of -2.10%, then what is the current yield of the bonds today
Answer:
9.54%
Explanation:
-0.021 = ($1,140 + D - $1,220) / $1,220
-$25.62 = -$80 + D
$54.38 = Dividend (semiannual)
current yield = annual dividends / current price
annual dividends = $54.38 x 2 = $108.76
current price = $1,140
current yield = $108.76 / $1,140 = 0.0954 = 9.54%
Since a cell phone is a private good, if Neha chooses to spend $300 on a cell phone, Neha would get $300 of benefit from the cell phone and Teresa wouldn't receive any benefit from Neha's choice. If Neha still spends $300 on a cell phone and Teresa chooses to contribute $300 to the public park, Neha would still receive the $270 of benefit from Teresa's generosity. In other words, if Neha decides to keep the $300 for a cell phone and Teresa decides to contribute the $300 to the public project, then Neha would receive a total benefit of $300 $270
Answer:
In other words, if Neha decides to keep the $300 for a cell phone and Teresa decides to contribute the $300 to the public project, then Neha would receive a total benefit of:
$570.
Explanation:
Neha has, in this situation, maximized his benefits to the detriment of the public good. This is an illustration of the tragedy of the commons. The tragedy of the common is an economic problem that explains the loss that the society incurs when some persons like Neha neglect to contribute to the common good because they are solely concentrated on pursuing their individual goals for personal gains.

During its first year of operations, Dudu Company paid $50,000 for direct materials and $36,000 in wages for production workers. Lease payments and utilities on the production facilities amounted to $14,000. General, selling, and administrative expenses were $16,000. The company produced 5,000 units and sold 4,000 units for $30.00 a unit. The average product cost per unit is which of the following amounts?
a. $16.00
b. $18.40
c. $25.00
d. $20.00
Answer:
Average production cost= $20
Explanation:
The product cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and allocated overhead. First, we need to calculate the total production costs:
Total production costs= 50,000 + 36,000 + 14,000= $100,000
Now, the average production cost:
Average production cost= total costs / units produced
Average production cost= 100,000 / 5,000
Average production cost= $20

The risk-free rate of return is 6 percent, and the expected return on the market is 14.7 percent. Stock A has a beta coefficient of 1.6, an earnings and dividend growth rate of 6 percent, and a current dividend of $1.90 a share. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent. What should be the market price of the stock
Answer:
P0 = $14.4683 rounded off to $14.47
Explanation:
To calculate the market price of the stock today, we will use the constant growth model of DDM. The constant growth model calculates the values of the stock today based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 is the dividend todayg is the constant growth rater is the required rate of return on the stockWe first need to calculate r using the CAPM equation. The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.06 + 1.6 * (0.147 - 0.06)
r = 0.1992 or 19.92%
Using the price formula for DDM above, we can calculate the price today to be,
P0 = 1.9 * (1+0.06) / (0.1992 - 0.06)
P0 = $14.4683 rounded off to $14.47

Vernon Boat Company makes inexpensive aluminum fishing boats. Production is seasonal, with considerable activity occurring in the spring and summer. Sales and production tend to decline in the fall and winter months. During year 2, the high point in activity occurred in June when it produced 209 boats at a total cost of $154,800. The low point in production occurred in January when it produced 31 boats at a total cost of $48,000. Required Use the high-low method to estimate the amount of fixed cost incurred each month by Vernon Boat Company. Determine the total estimated cost if 110 boats are made.
Answer:
Total cost= $95,400
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary and fixed costs using the high-low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (154,800 - 48,000) / (209 - 31)
Variable cost per unit= $600
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 154,800 - (600*209)
Fixed costs= $29,400
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 48,000 - (600*31)
Fixed costs= $29,400
Now, the total cost for 110 boats:
Total cost= 29,400 + 110*600
Total cost= $95,400
Assume Simple Co. had credit sales of $256,000 and cost of goods sold of $156,000 for the period. Simple uses the percentage of credit sales method and estimates that 1 percent of credit sales would result in uncollectible accounts. Before the end-of-period adjustment is made, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $310. What amount of Bad Debt Expense would the company record as an end-of-period adjustment
Answer: $2560
Explanation:
A bad debt expense simply refers to a scenario whereby a receivable isn't collectible due to the fact that a customer isn't able to pay their outstanding debt.
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of bad debt expense that would be recorded by the company as an end-of-period adjustment will be:
= Credit sales × Percentage of uncollectible accounts
= $256000 × 1%
= $256000 × 0.01
= $2560

A borrower is interested in comparing the monthly payments on two otherwise equivalent 30 year FRMs. Both loans are for $100,000 and have a 7% interest rate. Loan 1 is fully amortizing, where as Loan 2 has negative amortization with a $120,000 balloon payment due at the end of the life of the loan. How much higher is the monthly payment on loan 1 versus loan 2
Answer:
The monthly payment in Loan 1 is higher than in loan 2 by:
(665.30 - 566.94) = $98.36
Explanation:
Solution:
Comparison of Loan 1 and Loan 2 in terms of monthly payments.
For the first loan, we have to calculate equal monthly payments with the following details:
Principal = $ 100,000,
Monthly Interest rate = 7/12 = 0.58% ,
Term = 360 months
Use the PV = C (1 - (1+r)-n ) / r ,
where PV = Principal, r = monthly rate, n = 360 and
find C (EMI) = $665.30
NOTE: (Excel function is used: PMT(rate, year, PV) formula for convenience)
For Loan 2, we have to understand a few things.
The original loan principal is $ 100,000,
but you are allowed to do a balloon payment of $ 120000 at the end of 30 years.
The present value of the Balloon payment can be deducted from the principal to find out the monthly cash payments to be done.
The monthly payments will of course be lower since a lump sum balloon payment is done at the end.
The calculation is similar to the above. In this scenario, the Monthly payment comes out to be $ 566.94
Hence,
The monthly payment in Loan 1 is higher than in loan 2 by:
(665.30 - 566.94) = $98.36
Delisa Corporation has two divisions: Division L and Division Q. Data from the most recent month appear below: Total Company Division L Division Q Sales $596,000 $170,000 $426,000 Variable expenses 338,000 103,700 234,300 Contribution margin 258,000 66,300 191,700 Traceable fixed expenses 116,060 39,200 76,860 Segment margin 141,940 $ 27,100 $ 114,840 Common fixed expenses 43,950 Net operating income $ 97,990 The break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to:
Answer:
$100,512
Explanation:
Break even point is the level at which a Company makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break Even (Sales Dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin
therefore,
Break Even (Sales Dollars) = $39,200÷0.39
= $100,512
The break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to $100,512

You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with US-Scareways. You know that in 35 percent of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup, your friend Walter has offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with 70 percent probability.
What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?
Answer: 89.5% or 0.895
Explanation:
Probability of you making it home if the flight is canceled:
= Probability that flight is canceled * probability that Walter has a seat
= 35% * 70%
= 24.5%
Probability of you making it home by flight:
= 100% - 35%
= 65%
Probability of you making it home for the holidays:
= Prob. if flight is canceled + Prob. by flight
= 24.5% + 65%
= 89.5%
