Answer:

2.79 quarters, so almost 3 quarters or 9 months

Explanation:

We write the equation, and solve it. To solve for x, as x is an exponent, we must use logarithms.

5,470(1+0.048)^{X} = 6,253\\(1.048)^{X}  = \frac{6,253}{5,470} \\(1.048)^{X} = 1.14\\XLog1.048 = Log 1.14\\X = \frac{Log1.14}{Log 1.048} \\\\X = 2.79\\

Bess [88]

Answer:

0.0139

Explanation:

Given that:

The number of sample (n) = 21

The sample distribution has mean (μ) and a standard deviation of σ/√n

The z score is given as (x - mean)/ standard deviation

x = 94.8 wpm, let us assume that σ = 10 and μ = 90

Therefore: z = (x - μ) / (σ/√n) = (94.8 - 90) / (10/√21) = 2.2

To calculate the probability using Z table:

P(X>94.8) = P(Z>94.8) = 1 - P(Z<94.8) = 1 - 0.9861 = 0.0139

The probability is low that is less than 0.05, the program is more effective than the old one.

Company X currently has a capital structure that consists of 40% equity, 20% preferred equity, and 40% of debt. The risk-free ra
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

14.58%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8

equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72

d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58

p = 0.2 x 6 =  1.2

11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =

The price of a gallon of gasoline was $0.35 in 1972 when the CPI equaled 0.418. The price of a gallon of gasoline was $2.25 in 2
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

increased

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Price of a gallon of gasoline in 1972 = $0.35

CPI in 1972 = 0.418

Price of a gallon of gasoline in 2005 = $2.25

CPI in 2005 = 1.68

Now,

Real cost in 1972 = [ Nominal cost in 1972 ] ÷ [ CPI in 1972 ]

= $0.35 ÷ 0.418

= $0.837

Real cost in 2005 = [ Nominal cost in 2005 ] ÷ [ CPI in 2005 ]

= $2.25 ÷ 1.68

= $1.34

Hence,

The price of gallon of gasoline increased between 1972 and 2005
