Ajax buys 20 shares of stock at 20$ per share. The shares increase in value by 20%. He then sells 10 shares. After the shares de

crease in value by 10%, he buys another 20 shares. The shares then all increase by 50%. Determine the total dollar value of the 30 shares that Ajax now owns.

Answer:

$972

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajax buys 20 shares of stock at $20.

The cost of 20 shares = 20 × $20 = $400

The shares increase in value by 20%

Now the cost of 20 shares = 400 + (20%×400)

                                            = 400 + 80

                                            = $480

Cost per share =  \frac{480}{20} = $24

He sells 10 shares = $20 × 10 = $240

Now he has 10 share costs $240

After the shares decrease in value by 10%, he buys another 20 shares.

Cost per shares after decrease by 10% = 24 - (10%×24)

                                                                 = 24 - 2.40

                                                                 = $21.60

He buys 20 shares and his remaining 10 shares = 20 + 10 = 30 shares

Cost of 30 shares = 21.60 × 30 = $648

The shares then all increase by 50% = 648 + (50% × 648)

                                                             = 648 + (0.5 × 648)

                                                             = 648 + 324

                                                             = $972

The total value of the 30 shares that Ajax own is $972

A company rounds its losses to the nearest dollar. The error on each loss is independently and uniformly distributed on [–0.5, 0
lesya [120]

Answer:

the 95th percentile for the sum of the rounding errors is 21.236

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider X to be the rounding errors

Then; X \sim U (a,b)

where;

a = -0.5 and b = 0.5

Also;

Since The error on each loss is independently and uniformly distributed

Then;

\sum X _1 \sim N ( n \mu , n \sigma^2)

where;

n = 2000

Mean \mu = \dfrac{a+b}{2}

\mu = \dfrac{-0.5+0.5}{2}

\mu =0

\sigma^2 = \dfrac{(b-a)^2}{12}

\sigma^2 = \dfrac{(0.5-(-0.5))^2}{12}

\sigma^2 = \dfrac{(0.5+0.5)^2}{12}

\sigma^2 = \dfrac{(1.0)^2}{12}

\sigma^2 = \dfrac{1}{12}

Recall:

\sum X _1 \sim N ( n \mu , n \sigma^2)

n\mu = 2000 \times 0 = 0

n \sigma^2 = 2000 \times \dfrac{1}{12} =  \dfrac{2000}{12}

For 95th percentile or below

P(\overline X <  95}) = P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\sqrt{{n \sigma^2}}}< \dfrac{P_{95}- 0 } {\sqrt{\dfrac{2000}{12}}}) =0.95

P(Z< \dfrac{P_{95} } {\sqrt{\dfrac{2000}{12}}}) = 0.95

P(Z< \dfrac{P_{95}\sqrt{12} } {\sqrt{{2000}}}) = 0.95

\dfrac{P_{95}\sqrt{12} } {\sqrt{{2000}}} =1- 0.95

\dfrac{P_{95}\sqrt{12} } {\sqrt{{2000}}} = 0.05

From Normal table; Z >   1.645 = 0.05

\dfrac{P_{95}\sqrt{12} } {\sqrt{{2000}}} =1.645

{P_{95}\sqrt{12} } = 1.645 \times {\sqrt{{2000}}}

{P_{95} = \dfrac{1.645 \times {\sqrt{{2000}}} }{\sqrt{12} } }

\mathbf{P_{95} = 21.236}

the 95th percentile for the sum of the rounding errors is 21.236

Muffins cost $3.00 per dozen.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

I agree with both of them

Step-by-step explanation:

A dozen is 12 muffins. Therefore, you pay $3.00 for 12 muffins.

We know that you pay $3.00 for 12 muffins we need to find out how much EACH muffin cost. For that we need to divide $3.00 by 12 which is 0.25.

Now we need to know how much it will cost us for 16 muffins. We use our equation 16*0.25 which is 4. Elena said she will pay 4 so she is right.

Andre said he will buy 8 muffins so we use our equation again 8*0.25 which is 2. He said he will pay 2 so he is right.
