Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this

is not always possible. An analysis of the amount of interest paid monthly by a bank's Visa cardholders reveals that the amount is normally distributed with a mean of 29 dollars and a standard deviation of 9 dollars.
A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest?

Proportion =

B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 41 dollars in interest?

Proportion =

C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 19 dollars in interest?

Proportion =

D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders?

Answer:

a) Proportion = 41.3%

b) Proportion = 9.18%

c) Proportion = 13.35%

d) Interest payment = $37.28

Explanation:

We have normal distribution with mean = 29 and standard deviation = 9

a) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 31) = (\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{31 -29}{9}) = P (Z > 0.22) = 1 - P (Z ≤ 0.22) =  

1 - 0.58706 = 0.41294 = 41.3%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest is 41.3%.

b) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 41) = (\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{41 -29}{9}) = P (Z > 1.33) = 1 - P (Z ≤ 1.33) =  

1 - 0.90824 = 0.09176 = 9.176% ≈ 9.18%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest is 9.18%.

c) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 19) = (\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{19 -29}{9}) = P (Z < -1.11) = 1 - P(Z ≤ -1.11)) =0.13350 = 13.35%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders that paid less than 19 dollars in interest is 13.35%.

d) Let's suppose this amount of payment is Y:

Therefore P(X > Y) = 0.18

so P(X < Y) = 0.82

Utilizing standard normal approximation

P(X ≤ Y) = (\frac{X-29}{9}\leq \frac{Y -29}{9}) = P (Z ≤ \frac{Y-29}{9})  =  0.82

Form the standard normal table we find that \frac{Y-29}{9} = 0.92

Therefore,

Y - 29 = 9×0.92

Y - 29 = 8.28

Y = 8.28 + 29 = 37.28

Therefore $37.28 of interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

when Jorge became one of three final candidates for managerial position with a large pharmaceutical company
aleksklad [387]

Jason appreciated that the director took time to conduct a realistic job preview.

<h3>What is Realistic job preview?</h3>
  • Realistic job preview (RJP) is a technique that businesses and organizations use to explain the positive and negative aspects of a work to potential new hires or to remind current employees of the responsibilities of their positions.
  • Realistic job previews should give applicants a comprehensive overview of the duties they can anticipate carrying out when working for that particular business. Descriptions may cover the work atmosphere, goals, and company policies, among other things (rules, restrictions).
  • The psychological contract between employer and employee, often known as the employee exchange, is at the core of realistic job previews.

The master budget at Western Company last period called for sales of 225,000 units at $9 each. The costs were estimated to be $3
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Sales volume variance $26,250 Favorable

Explanation:

<em>The sales volume variance is calculated as the difference between the budgeted and the actual sales volume multiplied by he standard contribution per unit</em>

                                                                       Units

Budgeted sales units                                 225,000

Actual sales units                                      <u> 230,000</u>

Sales volume                                              5,000 favorable

Standard contribution(9-3.75)              <u>     × $5.25</u>

Sales volume variance                        <u>    $ 26,250 </u>

Sales volume variance                        $26,250 Favorable

<em>Note standard contribution = standard selling price - standard variable cost</em>

The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces isp= 130 - QThe firms cost curve isC(q) = 40 + 5Q1. What is the profit Maximizing solu
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

62.50 units

$3,866.25

Explanation:

The price function is:

p = 130 - Q

C = 40+5Q

Profit as a function of quantity (P(Q)) is given by:

P(Q) = Q*p(Q) - C(Q)\\P(Q) = Q*(130-Q)-40-5Q\\P(Q) = -Q^2+125Q-40

The quantity for which the derivate of the profit function is zero is the profit maximizing quantity:

P(Q) = -Q^2+125Q-40\\P'(Q) =0= -2Q+125\\Q=62.50\ units

The​ profit-maximizing quantity is 62.50 units

The economic profit for this production volume is:

P(62.5) = -(62.5^2)+125*62.5-40\\P(62.5)=\$3,866.25

The firm earns a profit of $3,866.25.

Consider a firm that has fixed costs of $300. The firm also faces a marginal cost of $600 for producing the first unit of output
Neko [114]

Answer: $400 per unit

Explanation:

The total cost of producing all three units is:

= Fixed cost + marginal costs

= 300 + 600 + 200 + 100

= $1,200

The average total cost is:

= 1,200 / Number of units

= 1,200 / 3

= $400 per unit
