Down Under Products, Ltd., of Australia has budgeted sales of its popular boomerang for the next four months as follows:

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales in Units

April 70,000

May 85,000

June 110,000

July 90,000

Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.

To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

April:

Sales= 70,000

Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750

Beginning inventory= (10,500)

Total production= 72,250

May:

Sales= 85,000

Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500

Beginning inventory= (12,750)

Total production= 88,750

June:

Sales= 110,000

Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500

Beginning inventory= (16,500)

Total production= 107,000

Total quarter= 268,000

A random sample of 160 households is selected to estimate the mean amount spent on electric service. A 95% confidence interval w

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option D. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $151 and $216.

Explanation:

A confidence interval is a range of values, derived from the sample statistics, which may include the value of an unknown population parameter.

A 95% confidence interval indicates that between 152 of 160 samples (95%) of the same population will produce confidence intervals that will contain the population parameter.

It also means that we have a 95% confidence that the average (average amount) is among the resulting amounts obtained.

Logically, option "D" is missing the final part. This would be: D. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $ 15.

This is the only true option, since the test is based on a sample of only 160 households, the entire population of households cannot be included.

Hence, the correct option is:

Option D. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $151 and $216.

A company has the following asset account balances: Buildings and equipment $9,200,000 Accumulated depreciation 1,200,000 Patent

Elis [28]

Answer:

$14,000,000

Explanation:

To be reported under Property, Plant and Equipment:

= (Buildings and equipment - Accumulated depreciation) + Land Improvements + Land

= ($9,200,000 - $1,200,000) + $1,000,000 + 5,000,000

= $8,000,000 + $1,000,000 + 5,000,000

= $14,000,000

Note:

(1) Intangible Assets (Patents) will be reported after Plant, Property and Equipment. These are not a part of plant, Property and Equipment.

(2) There is no information about the useful life of the Land, so the value of land improvements will be included in the property, plant, & equipment section.
