a) 0.0260

b) 0.0681

Explanation:

a)

The bag contains:

r = 9 (number of red marbles)

w = 5 (number of white marbles)

b = 6 (number of blue marbles)

So, the total number of marbles in the bag at the beginning is:

n=9+5+6=20

At the 1st attempt, the probability of choosing a red marble is:

p(r)=\frac{r}{n}=\frac{9}{20} (1)

At the 2nd attempt, the 1st red marble is not placed back, so now the number of marbles is (n-1), while the number of red marbles left is (r-1). So the probability of choosing another red marble at the 2nd attempt is

p(r)=\frac{r-1}{n-1}=\frac{8}{19} (2)

With a similar argument, the probabilities of selecting a red marble in the 3rd and 4th attempt are

p(r)=\frac{7}{18} (3)

p(r)=\frac{6}{17} (4)

Therefore, the probability of drawing 4 red marbles in the first 4 attempts without replacing is:

p(rrrr)=\frac{9}{20}\frac{8}{19}\frac{7}{18}\frac{6}{17}=\frac{3024}{116280}=0.0260

b)

At the 1st draw, the probability that the marble is not red is:

p(r^c)=1-p(r)=1-\frac{9}{20}=\frac{11}{20}

At the 2nd draw, there are 9 red marbles left and 19 total marble left. So, the probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

p(r^c)=1-\frac{9}{19}=\frac{10}{19}

At the 3rd draw, there are 9 red marbles left and 18 total marbles left. So, the probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

p(r^c)=1-\frac{9}{18}=\frac{9}{18}

Finally, with a similar argument the probability of NOT drawing a red marble at the 4th and last attempt is:

p(r^c)=\frac{8}{17}

So, the total probability of drawing 4 non-red marbles in the first 4 attempts is:

p(r^cr^cr^cr^c)=\frac{11}{20}\frac{10}{19}\frac{9}{18}\frac{8}{17}=\frac{7920}{116,280}=0.0681

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

Operating income is the difference between the net sales or revenue generated by a business and the operating expenses of the business.

The operating expenses of the business may be classified into 2 groups namely the fixed and variable costs.

The total operating cost of the business

= ( $9 + $6 + $28 + $32) per barrel

= $75

operating income of both divisions

= 200 ( $150 - $75)

= 200 * $75

= $15,000

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Annual rate 0.017

Explanation:

Computation of the annual rate on the real bond.

Using this formula

Annual rate = Par Zero coupon inflation index/(1+r) ^Numbers of years =Inflation-indexed bond

Let plug in the formula

Annual rate=100 / (1 + r) ^10 = 84.49

Annual rate= (100 / 84.49)^1 /10 − 1

Annual rate=(1.18357)^0.1-1

Annual rate=1.016-1

Annual rate=0.017

Therefore the annual rate of return will be 0.017

A share of BAC common stock has just paid a dividend of $1.00. The market return is 12% and the beta is 1.5. The three month T-b
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. 16.00%

b. $13.50

Explanation:

a. The computation of the required return is shown below:

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4% + 1.5 × (12% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.5 × 8%

= 4% + 12

= 16.00%

b. Now the stock price is

= Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

= ($1 × 1.08) ÷ (16% - 8%)

= 1.08 ÷ 8%

= $13.50

We simply applied the above formulas
