Answer:

D) 356

Explanation:

ME = Z x √[(P x Q) / N]  

  • margin of error (ME) = 4%
  • 90% confidence level (Z) = 1.645 (by convention)
  • P = 70% of apples exceed Grade A
  • Q = 30% of apples do not exceed Grade A
  • N = sample size = ?  

0.04 = 1.645 x √[(0.7 x 0.3) / N]

0.04 = 1.645 x √(0.21 / N)

0.04 = 1.645 x 0.458 / √N

0.04 = 0.7538 / √N

√N = 0.7538 / 0.04 = 18.84

N = 18.84² = 355.2 ≈ 356 (there is no 0.2 apples, you must round up)

Answer:

The fact that Becky Bongos sales are falling continually even though they keep decreasing the price shows that <em>the underlying problem is not as a result of the customers' dissatisfaction with price</em>. The underlying problem can be any <em>other factors like not paying attention to customers' needs, poor quality of the commodity, lack of proper marketing, and the presence of a superior competition</em>. The solution is not the reduction of price but rather, a closer look should be paid to these other factors.

Bad Brads BBQ purchased a piece of equipment by paying $5,000 cash. They also incurred a shipping cost of $400 to get the equipm
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The $5,400 is the amount should Bad Brads BBQ record the equipment.

Explanation:

According to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the amount of asset is recorded at cost or fair market value which ever is lower.

The motive behind this is to present the financial statement in true and fair value rather than mislead values.

Since in the given question, the equipment purchase cost is $5,000 and shipping charges is $400.

So,

The total cost is = Purchase cost + shipping charges

                          = $5,000 + $400

                          = $5,400

And, the fair market value is $7,000.

By using the above explanation, the $5400 is the lesser amount than the $7,000.

Hence, the $5,400 is the amount should Bad Brads BBQ record the equipment.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.

Explanation:

The Cost Performance Index or CPI measures the projected cost of work completed compared to the current cost spent. The CPI represents a ratio of earned value to actual cost. If the CPI is greater than one, the project is under budget. When the CPI equals one the planned and actual costs are equal. If the CPI is higher than one, the project is over budget.
