Answer:

A: 0.1475 , B: 0.3389

Explanation:

a. Probability Refrigerator purchased from store lasts more than 15 years :

Prob(refrigerator purchase from A) and Prob(refrigerator from A life > 15 years) + .........Prob(refrigerator purchase from D) and Prob(refrigerator from D life >15 years)

(0.40x0.1)+(0.25x0.20)+(0.15x0.05)+(0.20x0.25) = 0.04+0.05+0.0075+0.05 = 0.1475  

b. Refrigerator last > 15 years given , Probability it is from B :

[ Prob (B Purchase) . Prob (life > 15, given from B) ] / Prob (Life > 15)

P (B/15) = [P(B).P(15/B)]  / [P15]          {Bayes Theorum}

= [(0.25)(0.20)] / 0.1475  = 0.05 / 0.1475

= 0.3389

mezya [45]

Answer:

there are no requirements, but I assume that they ask about issuance costs and their amortization:

market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $5,000,000 / (1 + 10%)²⁰ = $743,218

PV of coupon payments = $400,000 x 8.5136 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 20 periods) = $3,405,440

market price = $4,148,658

Dr Cash 4,088,658

Dr Discount on bonds payable 851,342

Dr Bond issue costs 60,000

    Cr Bonds payable 5,000,000

amortization of bond discount and issue costs = ($4,088,658 x 10%) - $400,000 = $8,865.80 ≈ $8,866

allocation to bond issue costs = ($60,000 / $911,342) x $8,866 = $583.71  ≈ $584

allocation to bond discount = $8,866 - $584 = $8,282

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 8,282

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) 15 to 35 approximately 95%

(b) 10 to 40 approximately almost all

(c) 20 to 30 approximately 68%

Explanation:

The data have a bell-shaped distribution which means the data is equally distributed on both sides of the mean.

We have the mean at 25 and a standard deviation of 5 which means that the interval is for each of the values of 5 .

The mean would be u and

The first value would be u ±σ = 25 ± 5= 20 and 30 (68 % )

The second value will be u ± 2σ= 25± 10 = 15 and 35 (95%)

The third value will be u ± 3σ= 25 ± 15 = 10 and 40 (99.7 % almost all)

In the figure below the light blue region gives u ±σ on both sides of the mean

, dark blue gives u ± 2σ values on both sides of the mean and grey gives

u ± 3 σ values on both sides of the mean.

It is obvious that 68 % of the data is contained in the u ±σ light blue region, 95 % of the data in the  u ± 2σ dark blue including light blue and 99.7 % in the u ± 3σ all colored regions.
