Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the data:

x___ f(x)

10__ 0.05

20__0.10

30__0.10

40__0.20

50__0.35

60__0.20

a. Is this probability distribution valid?

Yes

Σf(x) = (0.05 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20) = 1

0≤f(x)≤1

b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients

X = 40 + x = 50 + x = 60

0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20 = 0.75

c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients

x = 10

f(x) = f(10) = 0.05

d)Compute the expected value and variance of x.

Expected value (E(x)) :

Σ(x * f(x))

= (10*0.05) + (20*0.1) + (30*0.1) + (40*0.2) + (50*0.35) + (60*0.2)

= 43

Σ(x * E(x))² * f(x)

= (10 - 43)^2 * 0.05 + (20 - 43)^2 * 0.1 + (30 - 43)^2 * 0.1 + (40 - 43)^2 * 0.2+ (50 - 43)^2 * 0.35 + (60 - 43)^2 * 0.2

= 201

M. Bot Corporation has 10,000 shares of 8%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2022. No divi
Andru [333]

Answer:

$135000

Explanation:

Given: Outstanding cumulative preferred stock of 10000 shares of 8% at $100

            Dividend paid= $375000.

Now, calculating preferred stock.

Preferred stock= (10000 shares\times $100\times 8\%)= \$ 80000

∴ Preferred stock= $80000

Cumulative dividend paid to shareholder= (80000\times 2 + 80000) = \$ 240000.

∴ Cumulative dividend paid to shareholder= $240000

Next, computing the amount of dividends will common stockholder receive.

Total dividend paid= $375000.  

Dividend received by common stockholder= (\textrm {Total dividend paid - cumulative dividend paid})

⇒ Dividend received by common stockholder= (375000-240000)= \$ 135000

∴ $135000 dividend will be received by common stockholder.

Assume the small-country model is applicable. If the world price of the product is $6 and an import quota of 400 units is impose
algol13

Answer:

Equilibrium price = $6

Total quantity in the market would be > 400 units ( unchanged )

Explanation:

Applying small=country model

world price of product = $6

import quota = 400 units

The Equilibrium price in Marketopia would be $6 and the total quantity available in Marketopia would > 400 units

This is because in a small country assumption model, the total imports made by any country is insignificant to the Total quantity of the products available in the market therefore it has no effect on the price of the products even if when the imports are stopped by the country

A firm currently employs four workers in a sandwich shop, and produces sandwiches at a total cost per sandwich (ATC) of $3. The
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

all are correct A, B and C

Explanation:

The marginal cost hiring another worker and producing a sandwich = $5.50 per sandwich, which is higher than the marginal revenue.

If the selling price per sandwich is $5 and the marginal cost per sandwich is $5.50, the firm will lose $0.50 for every sandwich that it sells.

Therefore the firm would be losing money is they hire an extra worker.

In order to maximize the profit, the marginal cost = selling price.

Whirly Corporation’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is shown below: Total Per Unit Sales (7,800
Luda [366]

Answer:

1.- The operating income would <u>increase </u>for $680

2.- The operating income would <u>decrease</u> for $680

3.- The Operating Income would be $59,500

Explanation:

We are going to use the contribution margin per unit

<u>This way we avoid most of the calculations</u>

1.- Contribution Margin x ΔUnits = ΔOperating Income

CM per units 17 x 40 = <em>680</em>

<em />

2.- Contribution Margin x ∨Units = ∨perating Income

CM per unit x (-40) = <em>-680</em>

<em />

3.- Contribution Margin x Sales Volume - Fixed Cost = Operating Income

17 x 6,800 - 55,700

115.600 - 55,700 =<em> 59,900</em>
