saul85 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below.

Explanation:

The z score is a used in statistics to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\where\ x=raw\ score, \mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation\\\\For\ a\ sample\ size(n):\\\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }

a) Given that n = 100, μ = 2000, σ = 18

For x < 1995 millimeters:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }=\frac{1995-2000}{18/\sqrt{100} }  =-2.78

From the normal distribution table, P(x < 1995) = P(z < -2.78) = 0.0027

b) P(z > z*)  = 10% = 0.1

P(z < z*) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

z* = 1.28

z*=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }\\\\1.28=\frac{x-2000}{18/\sqrt{100} }\\\\x-2000  =-2.304\\\\x=2002.3\ ml\\\\

From the normal distribution table, P(z < z

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$929,404.15 (approx)

Explanation:

The dollar amount actually earned by Solartech after exchanging yen for U.S. dollars :-

= Price ÷ One dollar bought

= 143,500,000  ÷ $154.40 yen

= 143,500,000 ÷ $154.40  yen

= $929,404.15 (approx)

Therefore for computing the dollar amount actually earned by Solartech after exchanging yen for U.S. dollars, we simply divide price by one dollar bought.

Present value of year 4 dividend=3.83(1+11%)^-4=$2.52

(3.65*1.05)

Present value of year 5 dividend=4.02(1+11%)^-5=$2.39

(3.83*1.05)

Present value of year 6 dividend=4.22(1+11%)^-6=$2.26

Compute and interpret the contribution margin ratio using the following data: sales, $5,000; total variable cost, $3,000.Interpr
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.4 or 40%

Explanation:

The formula for Contribution Margin Ratio is:

[TS - TVC] / TS

Where TS = Total Sales

TVC = Total Variable Cost

Applying the formula,

[5,000 - 3,000] / 5,000  = 2000/5000  = 0.4

Turning this value to a percentage, 0.4 × 100 = 40%

The interpretation of this is that for every item sold, 40% of the sales price is available to cover fixed costs.

Remember: The addition of fixed cost to variable cost = total cost
